spedwards Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 It goes back a while, but I did this a while back and was very happy with the results. It takes time, a little effort and lots of patience.If you're interested there is a 90-odd message thread from before I started through to the finished product. Lots of advice was given and mistakes made:http://www.aceforums.com.au/index.php?showtopic=23967TL;DR - Yes, it works very well and totally worth the effort. Just be careful of:Scratching glass with toolsScratching glass with backgroundPebbles stuck into silicone at the sides of the background are starting to fall out.If you ever want to add aeration, put airline hose in - even if you don't just do it in case you change your mind!
