Very cool. You might to throw a background on it to hide the equipment on the back and it will block the light coming from the window as well.

Thanks. I can't do a background cause the tank serves as a room divider. I'll do another video to show.

If you use some dark automotive window tint, it will give you a two way mirror effect. From the front of the tank it will look almost black and hide the equipment, but you will still be able to see through form the other the side. The lighter the tint, the more you will be able to see through it. I have limo tint on mine and I realy like it.

Here is the reason why I can't do the tint or latex paint method....

tank looks great. What lighting do you use?Crap lighting. Corellife nutrigrow light, 40w. I know I should get a higher watt setup, but when I was ready to buy one, I didn't get much feedback on which would be the better choice...
I will eventually do another setup, the plants don't grow fast at all. I do add plant food, but I'm sure it only has minimal effects.
For a tank my size an appropriate light setup would be at least 200$ I'm guessing. Then I'd have to do CO2 which is more money. One day, I will change. But it's difficult explaining why I'm spending hundreds of dollars on a fish hobby to my fiance sometimes! :D
She's like... 250$ for a light? To grow plants? You can't be serious! :X
:D
She'll come around, but I just have to create more money for that to happen! :D

How is it for plants? So it has 2 39w bulbs I'm guessing... got any pics of it?
I was looking at one of the ones with LED's for a moon effect at night.
