Tank bottom

[Starfish]

Hi everyone! ;-)

I have a little question....
My 6ft tank has a very reflective bottom....Is there something i can put on
the bottom (other than gravel rocks or sand) that will darken and stop
reflection ( Somone suggested painting the outside bottom in a dark colour.
I did this with my 200L and it made it more reflective)

Any ideas appreciated!!!

Starfish,

I imagine it will darken with algae/diatoms eventually. Mine has.

If it is going to be empty, you can try different material on th
eoutside of the bottom. I ahve a tank someone painted the bottom brown,
it always looks dirty :( But at least its only a ten and for fry.

You might be able to use the stuff I coated my pond with. Go look at
www.koi-koteusa.com and check out their epoxy coatings. :)
