Been busy again today before my holiday tomorrow, thought I'd remove the blue vinyl backing on the aquarium and paint the back of the aquarium black. As I was pulling the aquarium away from the wall, I took some pictures of the behind.

Time to peel off the blue vinyl background.

Paint and roller, here we go.

I'll be back with more updates after my holiday, but tomorrow my 2x 12,000 l/h wavemakers will be delivered, so I'm looking forward to getting those set up.

Another great feature is the magnetic back panel, which can be removed for easy access to the rear adjustable legs, especially handy when the tank is positioned against a wall.
