I want to make something like this for my 150 gallon.  I would like to use limestone (free) instead of the lava rocks ($$$) to match my limestone.  Just a few questions:

- Where do I find vinyl gutter like that?  HD just has aluminum with crown moulding on it.
- Will limestone adhere to the vinyl if i score it and use silicone?  If not, what can I use?
- Should I paint the back of the aquarium black anyways?

Thanks.

The home hardware close to me only sell plastic gutters.  Maybe you could try them?
