    Hey Im thinking about hiding my DIY overflow and I was going to put a pannel of black acrylic the legnth of the tank about 3 in away from the back wall. Like in a nano they have that false black back to hide the pumps, Thats exactly what im trying to do. anyways anyone know of what it is called besides black acrylic? Where can I buy it? Could I use plexi, instead? Thanks!

    Thickness isnt really an issue, I would need a pretty big piece. a 40X20, it is going on the back of a 55. This is going to sound weird but do I know you???? lol

    I just made the same deal for a 55 a few weeks ago.. But I thunk its just takes you a lot of usable coral space 4 inches of over hang is a lot I thinking a narrow tank like a 55. Why not use Corner tower type overflows ?
