I chose a black background, but whenever I see the white backgrounds, I drool.

I saw a neat sprayed on background using black faux stone spray from the home improvement store. It looked organic with a dark substrate.

...of course it doesn't really matter if you have a cool moss wall.

3 250s it is ...

are you still doing the discus?

cause I think you have one more 250W heater than you really need.

3 Watts per gallon is fine, I think two would do the trick.

its what I am going to use on mine (only I prefer Ebo Jagers because of the indicator light).

I am just thinking that frees up a power recepticle.

thats an issue for me - a giant 150 gallon tank is a recepticle HOG.

I am going to need 7-8 plugs. you may end up using more...

Vader - what's the inside distance from the back of the canopy to where it hinges (this is from the total 16 5/8 depth)?

There's nothing to photograph yet ... still working out the details. Plan to order tank, stand, canopy, retro, and fans after returning from vacation - the end of next week.

Anticipation ... believe me - it will be worth the wait!!

Yes - I cant wait .... LOL. Maybe this should be in the DIY forum instead of photo gallery?

To pass the time I just did a rescape of my 75g today ...
