As I was invited to many parties, picnics and celebrations over the summer I discovered one fancy fish tank at a friend's house - who is an avid fish maniac!  He collects varioius types of fish and thus found that fish tanks can be pretty hum drum and decided to spray the back outside of the fish tank with Rust-Oleum's American Accents Stone Finish.  This particular tank he sprayed with Black Granite which when illuminated with the lights looks like sparkling crystals in the water.  Chris cleaned off the glass surface with alcohol allowed it to fully dry.  Taped off the remainder of the tank with blue painter's tape and newspaper.  Closed off the top of the tank as well.  He did spray the American Accents Stone Finish in very light coats allowing each coat to fully cure 48 hours.  The process is long but beyond well worth it!  He estimates two cans per average sized table top tank.  Be sure to spray the tank on a level surface so that the Stone Finish does not slide down on the glass surface.  As I coasted through his garage, I found two more tanks he was working on...these he sprayed with Rust-Oleum's Stone Finish in Pebble.  He co-ordinates the stone finishes with the types of fish in each tank.  Who knew...color co-ordination in fish tanks?  Great way to add color and texture to jazz up any surface!  Fantasy Fish Tanks with American Accents Stone Finishes!

Angie's philosophy is simple: take on projects that are affordable and easily achievable. Look for inspiration in magazines and make the projects your own. Hers are real projects for real people and they don't require you to have a background in art. Test
