[Squiggle]

Hahaha, Murphy's a bugger isn't he, lol Just get a razor blade(for a scraper) & leave a wet towel on the paint for a few hours to soften the paint(overnight is best) then just scrape it off, simples! :encouragement:

Yeah thanks I peeled some if this morning ill re paint it tonight

[shrimpyy]

well I ran out of paint so I went back to Bunning's to buy some more " sky night " paint!! so I just did a few coats and cleaned most of the scrum on the top of the water! "its a pain to get off" and there still a little more scrubbing to do, but here is how the tank is now!! I think it coming up really nicely thanks blake

4ft set up with WATER?!!!

hey guy's, time for an update I think?? well I finished cleaning and painting the back of the tank so I moved it in to where its going to stay! and add some drift wood but im not happy with it I don't know how to lay it all out! " any ideas how to make it look better" I plane to cover most the wood with moss not sure yet I am going to try all different moss's, oh and I use a mix gravel what I had around the house and still came out looking good!, and I found the blueish shrimp does any one know what it would be :) thanks blake

Looks pretty cool dude, maybe get some taller plants along the back wall to break it up a bit, maybe some swords or something like that. :victorious:
