240gal build update. First Water Test

Tom it is really looking great.. As to your question i'm bias as I like black.. :D
 
I like both of the backgrounds. So you wouldn't go wrong either way. There is something about the blue that I'm liking just a tiny bit better.

I absolutely adore the rock setup.
 
Man that looks great!! I would suggest very few tiny little fish that vanish as soon as you put them in the tank. And only one of each. Wait...that's been done....some goober with a 210.....:naughty:
Looks really good...throw away the television and go fish watching!

bwahahahahahahahahaha I spit water all over the place at that.

It does look great, but tvs are the same as fish tanks. . . . can never have too many and there is no such thing as too big. :drool:
 
Love the setup! Tough decision on the background. I have the black on my tanks and to tell you the truth, I really don't notice it. I think it might help give the color of the fish a little more pop. Although the blue makes it look a little more like ocean water. Glad I don't have to make the decision. Oh, wait, I WISH I did have to make a decision on what color background to use on my 240 because that would mean I would have a 240! Anyways, whichever one you go with is going to look great.
 
I usually prefer black, but in some tanks you can't really see the dark contrast. Blue actually looks better on your tank to me. But overall, its great so I wouldn't mind either colors.
 
I would do a sohal tang no aggression if you dont add another tang or a trigger.

They are also a false power blue tang (they are more of a purple color than blue) but am not aware if they are ich magnets as the pbt.

Mimic tangs are always nice and stay rather small, purples, yellow eye, flamefin, cheveron tangs add a lot of color. Nasos are nice, if you want diffrent body shape sailfins fit the bill.

Flames add a nice bright red color, but since you wont be adding coral you can add a butterflyfish the hardier ones always have nice colors.

Have you given a foxface a thought? nice coloring ESP. if you get a Doliatus Rabbitfish or Magnificent Foxface both VERY NICE!!

a school of blue/green OR blue-reef chromis would be nice to see school. Anthias makes for a nice small colorfull fish but some species are really hard to maintain. Lost of stuff to play with tom.
