very nice tank! i love inwalls, my only question is: do u put anythign accross the back so that you cant see all the way back threw it? i would think some kind of a black blanket or sheet just draped up would be enough to conceal it all... just a though lol..... still very nice!!!

 

[Southnash]

Thanks!! I love it!!

I do want to add something to the back. I bought a black/blue background but then I couldn't see anything I was doing inside the tank! haha.. So i'm thinking about letting coraline cover most of the back or adding a removable panel to the back. Still deciding...

I saw on another thread where someone made a hang on acrylic backing so it could be removed very quickly. It just hung on the back.

I seen that thread & background.. Great idea & i'm thinking that's the best way...

Have you given any thought to using window tint?

 

[Southnash]

Thought about it but never looked into it.. I'm just afraid of blocking the view too much.. Any ideas? Possibly clear acrylic w/ window tint?

Very cool. That behind the scenes pic I like. Looks like a dedicated fish room.

 

[xabo]

Just the basic black or blue tint. You'll be able to look into the tank from the rear just like looking out a tinted car window.

i hung a black curtain behind mine, but not right on the glass. gives it the optical illusion of more depth. easy to move out of the way.

 

[Southnash]

Good ideas... I will play around with them & see what I like.. Thanks for the info..

I used window tint on my tank. Very cheap and easily removable if you do not like it.

Thanks!! I'm working on getting pics of the backside for everybody.. Also i'm working on a 50g frag/grow out tank that will connect to this system.
