Yellow's 90G Upgrade

Look great so far. I'm really liking your rock work setup.

Man - that looks awesome! Good job!

Awesome rock work!

(it's mike by the way)

Where is your skimmer at now?? Running nothing at the moment?

I also see some mad overflow out of those filter socks... Same reason I got rid of mine! couldn't keep changing them every day lol

Can't wait to see this thing grow.

Hey mike, yeah Im skimmerless right now, Im hoping the cheato will do the job for me now untill it gets a little more diverse. I ran the skimmer right after it cycled to clean everything right up.

Take a look at this tank, Im hoping for something along the lines of this, all he's got is cheato and a few hangon filters

Ill throw the skimmer back on later down the road :biggrin:

great job on the aquascape. everything looks really good and well thought out. cant wait to see more.

Great nice rock arrangement. Please mount that vortech controller. It's sitting in a very scarry position. Great job btw.

hahaha DONE, it was the next thing I did right after I took that picture haha
It kinda looks like its resting on the tube but its not there is velcro on the back

This is my problem. I wanted to paint the back of my tank from the beginning but it somehow slipped to the wayside, now i'm kinda stuck for what I can do.
1. Painting the back is a possibility still but my only concern is that you'll still be able to see into it.
2. I thought about a piece of acrylic in the overflow but I don't think the colours will match the paint even if perfectly matched beforehand (see picture - the darker is on the outside the other on the side and the last inside the overflow)
3. I am now thinking that I can get a full sheet of thin acrylic to place inside the tank the full length of the wall. BUT there are two issues with that - how to get it to stay flush with the back wall and there are a few points of my rock work that is against the wall ( I cant move it very easily)

Here is the colour problem (they are all the same - left to right, inside overflow, outside tank (darker), inside tank (same as overflow)

Anyone got any thoughts or other suggestions?
