ive had another idea, i need some polystyrene for the base of my fry tanks so as i was searching the net i found these at the evil b and q!!!

my plan is to used on both the base and the back of the tanks. saves me painting and adds extra isulation. the hoods of the tanks are gonna be black so i think it will fit in well.

will it come off easy if you want to change it?

Why not just get a black back strip?

I paint mine with latex paint.

I used Ronseal tile paint for both my tanks from B and Q and the finish is perfect and its easy to paint on
