unheatedtank Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 .Hi all, It is too hot so I need to find an excuse to go shopping. I have 6ftx70cm tank with just 45mins sunlight and I am losing my battle with hair algae. So before upgrading the tank, I want to fight it first, and I need a few meters of black or blue color backing to block sunlight. Is there any vinyl from bunnings which I can tape on the tank for now? If it works, I will empty the tank and paint it. Which type of paints from bunnings I can use on my tank? Thank you.

Heintz.G Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Builders plastic sheet being only temporary black or the orange will be fine. Paint wise I use blackboard paint, but any that is waterproof would be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
