Man I wish thats all I spent!
I think my light fixure was just a lil less then that! Nice tank though good job, the background makes a huge difference

 

[yellowwatchmen]

Wow! That is cheap. You can have a nice tank with out spending a bunch.

Get some 5% static limo tint, apply it with water (soapy works better, gotta be careful) and squegee out the the water. If that isn't dark enough you can then put cardboard or whatever you want behind that. The problem with just sitting something behind is that it shadows.

Be prepared to loose all your invert. a morray will eat them all.

 

[20reefer]

she already ate all crabs but no the hermits, but I get thems free

Well thats sort of cheating isn't it? The most expensive part of my tank was the fish and corals and you got them for free :mad2:

:lol:
