i was going to paint my the back of my aquarium black does anyone no of a good paint to use or does anyone have a better alternative. thanks.
 
Krylon works great...I used a semi-flat finish and it looks real good. The first coat doest go on real good but just let it dry and keep putting a few coats on and it will start going on better. It usually takes atleast 3-4 light coats to get a good solid coverage...
 
if you use a latex house paint, and make sure its dried completely before you add water to the tank, Because water is a thinner for latex paint, it works fine. then later, if you desire you can usually remove the latex simply by peeling it off.. I used a vinyl back on my 125, and shown in the link in my sig below...
