Hello,
Does anyone know where I can purchase/order solid (opaque) colored black sheet glass for use in an internal overflow? All the local glass shops around me only sell smoked/bronze translucent glass. Any ideas?

Thanks,
 
i would try some local artist to find a place that will do stained glass, the best would be to find an church and see if they can give a place. But colored glass will get pricey, good hunting
 
As far as I know the only way to get a true black that you wont be able to see through is Spandrel glass, its essentially a piece of glass painted on one side, problem being...Theres paint on it.... The paint can scratch off and im sure introducing it to your tank will result in nothing but death....

The darkest I know of is Greylite #31, ask your local glass shops if they carry it or can order it, and if they can show you a sample, its extremely dark and should be what your lookin for.
