I painted my fish room blue for the same reason. I am very happy with my decision to leave the back portion of the tank clear as I spend most of my time in the fish room! I think you will also be very happy with that decision.

Just about wrapped up for the night, that was a lot of work, still need to plumb the skimmer (missing a %#$& fitting, I know its here somewhere, probably find it sometime tomorrow right after I buy a new one!) Everything looked good till the sand went in, pretty cloudy right now but I am sure it will clear up pretty quick, fish all seem happy, will get some pics up later tomorrow as I have to work.

Special for you Mike, as we all know what a Skimmer whore you are and you love the pics, how about a pic of a skimmer! The water supply, air supply and collection cup drain are all plumbed into the wall (air not finished yet) when done all you will see is a foaming cylinder in the corner, all the lines are hidden from view. I am working on LED backlighting so it will be a glowing cylinder of foam
