The Sunnyside 300 :: Tank Log

Background hmmm. Jurys still out on that. Not sure how well it comes across but those walls are actually a light green.



If I do go for a background it will probaly just be a large sheet of black foamboard that I can just slide down from the top. For extra bling I might add some leds pushed into the foamboard in some sort of twinkling star pattern.

On the other hand If i leave bare I may well fit some sort of backlighting system to the lid exterior

Of course the problem with no background is that you will see pipes through the tank.

The foamboard sounds ok then. Speaking from experience - its a pain in the posterior to fit anything to the back once the tank has been fully set up and has become immovable..

[mikeyw64]

easiest thing to get in there would be a sheet of black felt/curtainmaterial with fishing weights along the bottom to make sure it hangs properly.


Add some screw in cup hooks to the Lid section and then just hang them via eyelets in the top

And we're in

Have you got a friend that's a Jedi or did you just use the force?

[mikeyw64]

That angle flatters lol.

Using the traditional Sky remote for scale.

Have you thought about (I know this a pain) lifting it back out and painting the background?

[mikeyw64]

me & paint don't get on ;o)

I did order some foamboard last night so will use that, at the moment its all easy enough to slide out & in and (just) reach around

I missed the video......would've been interesting seeing the delivery and the looks when it just went in the garage...........

[Wiggles]

Looks like a perfect fit!

I've measured mine more than once to make sure it will fit... Just got to clean it up and then get it in

If your tank is too close to the back wall you might struggle with cables, I made that mistake and cannot fit a three pin plug down from the top of the tank, just a thought.
