Anyone know where to buy black glass?

At Home Depot for 97 cents per can!

This is what I used to paint the back of my tank back in 2008.


If you actually want black glass, I almost have to believe it is a specialty item requiring individual manufacturing (and at a tremendous cost).

I'm thinking about building a coast to coast overflow and thought black would look pretty cool.

What do you think about bonding a piece of black acrylic to glass?

It's been done, I'm actually considering using acrylic baffles in the next sump build.

I got my baffles for my sump at glass castle in Lawrenceville. They said tinted would be very expensive. Solid black even more so.

Yeah, I'm trying to keep this somewhat cheap. I'm gonna shop around for some black acrylic. All ideas are welcome..

I also saw where someone used krylon fusion below the waterline. It was in a sump on manhatten reef

No problem. That place has pretty much everything.
