WOW! It takes a lot to impress me with a tank set-up and all I can say about your tank is...........WOW! How long have you had that cell pore set up like that? I'm assuming it works quite well for you. I never would have thought of something like that. I'm guessing you are using it to mimic live sand? Genius!
Just got back from Florida...
I was gone for 9 days.
I got some bad news when I got back.
My Target Fish died and so did my largest Wasp Fish.
About the back ground... Yes I plan to have it setup to look natural. I am in the process of building a 3D background to look like a mangrove (polyurethane) and there will also be plants.
While in Florida I visited Living Color, really cool. They were loading a 4500 gallon tank on a semi for NY. It took up almost the whole inside of the semi.
I also saw the tank Dr. Laura bought for her house. They were getting that ready also.
