Nice tanks! Have you thought about painting a background on them to make things really pop?
 
I just added a plastic black backing that came with the big tank will eventually paint both of them. Wanted to get them set up to start cycle when I got them then relized how hard it would be to paint them till i drain them when ever i do that
 
Ill take some pics right now to show you the new setups give a little bit my son is hungery
 
here are some pics i took just now on my cell phone

Maybe add some plastic plants in the 65 to give it a more natural look
