Nice job Kraylen. Another addition to Kraylen's Lab well done.

Does the paint job help keep algae from growing on it or is it just for looks?

[Kraylen]

Seems to slow it down a little bit.. but I assume algae is gonna grow anywhere it wants to if it is potent in a system... like my stamp book(55g).. The bottom and back of my frag tank is black... so I figured black racks would be great to pop the actual corals colors out. :) Thanks for the comments!

?:confused:? Something sure must be potent in your system. :eek:

The black definitely helps with aesthetics. That is interesting about the algae growth. Could it be that the algae just isn't as noticeable on top of the black- moreso than the paint actually slowing the growth?

[Kraylen]

I would figure the algae would be MORE noticeable via contrast on the black. So far in the Ghostbox, the rack is clean.

Superglue and plastic?
I haven't had good results with that. I seem to get better results with PVC glue.

It's welded with primer, pay attention :p
