i finally made some time to install the shelf under the 55-gallon crypts riparium (see
journal post). i think that it looks nice.
i chose a dark green for this shelf, to compliment the colors of the crypts and
Anubias in the tank.
for my 65 South America tank, on the other hand, i painted with a light, bright green--close to the swords,
Acorus and other plants in there.
finishing this shelf took a number of coats of primer, paint and varnish, but installation was easy. i used these little shelf brackets.
