Fuge over display, pump up to fuge, gravity from fuge overflow back to display.... No blended pod milkshakes.

Was afraid id get that answer. So if I put above and do this the light will shine into dt at night. But ill do it just more work for less headache. Worth it. Thanks

Paint the tank all 5 sides if light is an issue. Not like you need to see in it anyways...

Ok got a hair someplace and ran to home depot picked up 10 2x4 and went to town. Built a stand / shelf so the fuge sits above my dt. I'm no carpenter but it looks not too bad if I do say so. Turned on lights and actually looks like moon light threw dt. Well see if I get algae bloom from it. 30 bucks in materials and some skillful drilling for bulkhead and headache gone. ( couldn't find holesaw so used 3/8 wood bit I don't advise this at all ) anyways thanks for help and ideas. Can I just use reg black paint.

Wow you got ballz to drill glass with a wood bit! Any paint works, just clean the glass well with ammonia free cleaner and dry off really well with lint free cloth, I just use the cheap stuff from walmart, enough thin coats and it starts getting a gritty textured feel when dry.
