20G 3D Background Project

- Start date
Could wait for total cureness... so I set it inside the tank to wait for the final 8 or so hours.
Here is what it looks like inside the tank being lite using my old incadesant hood, but using those GE spirally bulbs. 2 of them little guys throw a hell of a lot of light into a 20 Gallon aquarium let me tell ya!

ANy siggestions on substrate? Im thinking straight black will look good, but am interested in hearing others opinions.
I think you will want some contrast between your background and substrate... without it being a hard line. Something like a mixed grey and black would give a nice soft transition I think.
Yeah thats not a bad idea either, I def want to keep it dark so the bright fish Ig et are the main focus of the tank. Might buy a few different colors and leave them in the bag and just set the bags in the tank to see what it looks like and return the unused stuff.... or buy more tanks to put it... decisions, decisions.
Project cancelled.Got down to get my substrate and started adding my water. Once the tank was about 3/4 full the background poped right up and out of the tank in about 8 peices. Looks like 3 solid rocks was not enough to hold and a 20 small styrofoam background in.. and I almost thought it was over kill. Ontop of all of this, I did finish filling the tank to test everything else out and found out my filter has aleak where the pump screws into it, so I had to empty the whole tank, throw the bg out ad now have to wait to buy a new filter before I can do anything else. Thanks to all those who followed the progress and provided encouragment. I wish you all luck with your projects.
