New 75 gal

This is my new 75g tank. Scott worked so hard on it. Comments welcomed.

Looks really good. Are you planning on adding a background?

Scott wanted me to paint the glass blue or black but I didn't want too. Dont know what I will do. Have just gotten it set up from a 50g. Will decide later. Thanks

I like it...but would add a background. Dark blue or black always make the colors of your fish and corals really jump out.

Your tank looks beautiful. I like the rock work, the swim-throughs are neat.

Sanford tapes a big piece of black poster board on the back of his tank and I think it looks nice plus it's not as permanent as paint. I just scraped some paint off a tank and it was a pain in the rear so unless you positive you want it painted, I wouldn't do that.

I also like your hood, such nice clean lines.

I figured it would be hard to remove the paint once done. I put some of the blue painter's tape on the glass to give me a hint of what it may look like and I think I may go with a dark blue background. Thanks for the nice words.

On both my tanks, I have a blue background that I purchased and then taped on the back. I like it because the colors gradually blend from dark blue at the bottom to light blue at the top.

I used some foamboard from wal-mart that has plastic facing. It is by the posterboard and comes in black and blue.
