I added a small piece of PVC to keep the splashing down...It really quieted it down as well. I just used KRYLON Dual paint, I believe I used the flat black for the background, It went on fairly well. It could probably use 3 or 4 coats, I only put on two, but from front side of the tank and the lights on you can't notice that its not as thick in certain areas. It looks great IMO. Thanks for the comments! Look forward to seeing as how your build progresses as well.

Installed the Quiet One and completely rid of the metal hose clamps. Thanks for the tip Melev.
Good to know! Will change that out ASAP
Welcome to RA, and thanks for sharing your project with us. I know you were only testing out the Maxijet but don't use metal hose clamps under water. Get plastic hose clamps instead, really anywhere that you need one.
Thanks! Will do!
