Here is the new tank

Very nice!
 
This is kind of "cheating," but you can put black pantyhose on the tube and it should blend right in.


That is a great idea! I am ALL about designing on a dime, so to speak, I've already spent enough on this tank! thanks for the tip!

The plants are already starting to look nicer, as the stem plants are straightening out from being shipped. Noticed a bit of crypt melt this morning:cry:

what kind of fish are you gonna get?

definitely going with tiger barbs, and most likely polka dot loaches....MAYBE a gourami or two, but nothing more than that.
 
use new pantyhose that havent been washed yet. and they'll just deteriorate on you over time anyway. i would personally go with the paint.
 
That is one gorgeous tank!

If you'll be adding an Eheim canister, Eheim makes their intake and output sets. I have them and although a bit pricey, they are really nice and well made. They're also dark smoked gray, so they blend right in, esp with a dark background.
