I want to change the color of a Tank - not the interior liquid color, but the Tank itself. Is there a property for this?

It doesn’t look like there’s any exposed property (currently). You’d have to dive into theming (I’d suggest doing a search on the forums, there’s some good introductory material by @cmallonee).  
You’ll need to either provide a custom style for the cylindrical tank component in particular, or a different named `border` color:

Note that this change would be global to _all_ cylindrical tanks - a `stroke` provided to an individual component doesn’t override the globally defined color. That’s probably something we can/will fix.

Thanks Paul. 👍
