G-1000 what we are trying to tell you is that if you paint the inside of the tank the paint will kill your fish or it will deteriorate because of water damage. therefore you paint the OUTSIDE of the tnak. as far as i know there are no filters or aquarium accesories the require suction caps on the OUTSIDE OF THE TANK.

Hei ! I got a cannister filter that require suction caps on the outside of the tank.
Eheim cannister filter, the return outlet, the S like shaped required suction cap outside the tank so it wont move around.
Well thats what the manual says ...
But you can just not use them.
And oh yeah, you always paint the outside !!

yeah suctions caps still stick to the pain but i am talking about the outside of the tank....NOT the inside. painting the outside of the tank looks fantastic. no need to pain inside. it can be done but it is with expensive latex paint i believe.
not worht the hastle

paint
Come on guys!
I am talking about the outside of the tank. I have two hydor canisters which each have 2 suction caps that go OUTSIDE i.e on the back of the tank.
I wouldnt be stupid enough to try painting the inside.
So my question is - will the paint come off with suction caps (and yes I am talking about the OUTSIDE).

I use some normal household sticky tape to put the backgrounds onto my tanks...i just put some on the top and bottom of each end of the background and stick it on the glass
This will be a bit $$ but one of those photographed aquarium back grounds would look nice....
just an idea....
Ben
Bought some light blue background like this today for $3.50/foot..so it all depends on where u go to as how much u pay for it..
Also why not just leave a bit of the back of the tank for the suction caps? just paint the rest of the tank and just leace a space for them...
HTH,
