    lo guys.. i will have an overflow for the tank outside the tank.. i mean.. will cut a piece of the left side of the tank and it will be the overflow.. but then.. i will see the overflow from the tank..

    how can i make it black.. so i wont see the water going down that side and fill the overflow etc etc.. ?

    i thought about to put a pvc layer.. but then.. i will see the glue/silicon i used to put it there.. or worst.. i will have water between them that will make nitrates cause isnt moving..

    sob.. no idea on how to make it.. :cry:

    My overflow came in blk, you dont see the water flowing in, but you do see the blk silicon that was used. I really dont see a solution for that other than wait until it gets covered by coraline.
