I am going to remove all the gravel from my 15 gallon and use it for quarantine and hospital tank but I still want it to look good as it will be up and running all the time so I plan to paint the bottom.

I remember reading a thread about spray painting the bottom of your tank using those metallic paints and within that thread was a link to some guys website detailing the steps they took to do this. I totally understand how/what to do but was looking for the name brands used. They also had pictures of the finished tanks done in dfferent colors.

Does anybody have the link to that website?

Thanks much.

There is also an excellent post on angelfishkisses.com on painting the tank bottom and making it look like a sand bottom. I am sure if you just do a search on it you will find it.

HTH,
