Fish tank project

We've had this old fish tank in our garage for years. Some neighbors gave it to us when they upgraded. We used to have fish. Like 7 years ago, but then they all died and we got a piano that took up the tank spot. So now that we have more room, we decided to get things set up again. The only thing is I kinda hated the base color. It was kinda beat up and also a sickly orange-honey-brown color. So I decided to paint it.

So I present to you before:



And after:

The guy at home depot told me it should take 2 coats of paint. Try 4. I don't know if it was something I did wrong, or if it was because it was plywood (I read online that plywood is very porous and likes to soak up the paint) but yeah. Four coats. Oh well. Thanks to Jennifer for your helpful tips!

I'll have to take an after the after picture once we finally have fish in there.
