does anyone have an in the wall tank and do you paint the sides as well as the back if i paint the sides will i loose the mirror effect ????

 

[pauliwalnuts]

I'm tagging along on this thread, and the last question asked as well. Lol...

 

[Arati]

I do and I did paint the sides. I painted them blue, but I think if I did it again i would paint them coraline purple. since I never clean them and they are mostly purple anyways. the blue looks good though.

good luck on your build.
