Pics?
How high did you make it?
I'm about to do mine and not sure about that.
i bought the 10 inch tall premium 1x10 x10 wood at home depot. it was like 22 bucks or something, the wood will cover the trim of the aquarium. will snap a pic or two later.
this is very simple, just around, no top cover.
i have not done very good job w spray paint before, but tried on glass only (i paint black the back of all my tanks
so oil based is best.. as if i was painting a bathroom? makes sense, to be able to put up with humidity. and yes, i was thinking of the inside. i guess i could paint the outside black and let the inside be with just poly layers for humidity protection...
