Just showing my tank.

I would paint the back glass, and I like the rock work.

I've thought about doing this but not ready to dive into that yet. Maybe I'll start by putting up a black backdrop on the back and go from there. I think it would help the overflows and everything blend in more seamlessly. As well as not seeing he wires haha

I would paint it with a small roller.

I hate your light hanger... LOL. Your next upgrade should be the hanger, the rest looks awesome.

Lol. Yeah I agree, the hanger have got to go. I hope those are only temporary. At the very least hide the hide the wires a bit more for a cleaner look. The tank looks amazing. Can't wait to see how it develops.

The hanger is a shelf haha I said I haven't cleaned up the wires yet. It's a shelf. But I guess I should clarify it's in a business with 12 foot ceilings and a shelf with decor is pretty normal in a business.

Great start!

I'd second finding a way to paint the back black. Another option, if you can find black tack paper (something like chalkboard tack paper) and apply it carefully to avoid air bubbles, you could avoid painting, and it'd still be removable.

The only thing I'd personally add to the rockwork would be a rock arch, I see some opportunities on the left side for one

Tank looks like its off to a good start! Another option for the back glass (If you don't want to paint it) is dark window film from Home Depot, Lowes, etc. Just measure/cut to size and squeegee it on (Also comes off easy should you ever need to remove it.)

I like this idea as well. Just going to enjoy it as is for now. Almost ready for fish. Nitrites are finally starting to not be off the charts and ammonia finally dropped off to completely zero and nitrates are spiking off the chart. Should only be another week or so. The final phase of the cycle is in motion

If you live close to me, I will give you some frags. Got some lying on the sand bed
