Painting back of tank?

I got a couple of cans of spray paint, one aqua, one forest green, one
darker blue. Varigated pattern on either glass or acrylic looks really
sharp. I did mine right on the glass and it turned out striking.
mask well the sides and top w/ newspaper, etc...dries rather quickly.
If I were using latex, I'd go with a sponge application and multiple
blue/green colors. JMHO

I'd like to paint the *outside* of the rear pane.
Can I safely do this with the tank running? (I promise not to clean
the roller in the tank).

Flat latex OK? Or would a satin or semi-gloss be better.

What looks best- dark blue or black?
I currently have 4x96w diy pc lighting (2 10kk, 1 actinic, 1 7100k
'blue'- and BTW working on a cool LumuLeds LED night viewing light).
