A different way of doing it.

I was cleaning a tank to use for Qting some new fish that i'm going to pick up in a couple weeks. Decided to use a 29 I had so I thought I would paint the sides like my other 29s. Looked for white paint but the only thing I found was some old acrylic craft paints in various colors. Figuring it was for a QT tank, what the hell i'll use them. The only problem painting this on the outside of the glass is you have to paint in reverse. You have to paint the foreground first. Layer progressively till you get to the background. I admit that I am not an artist but this is my try at a discus tank background.

Thank you Pat, That tank is for some discus that i'm going to pick up from Brandon in a couple weeks. Want to make their new home as comfortable as possible.
