Turn Your Old CRT Computer Monitor Into A Fish Tank ! ! !

Step 5 Painting a background.

I did not want to look at the dull gray plastic of the inside of a computer monitor, so the next step I did was to paint on the OUTSIDE of the Plexi fish tank. I began by taking a silver Sharpy permanent marker and a speed square and I drew out some circuit board lines (again on the outside). I then to a green Sharpy to add some shadows under those lines. Finally I masked off the edges and spray painted the OUTSIDE with some cheap green spray paint (of course you could paint whatever you would like to).
