Im leaving the back of my tank without a background. I like the clean look of it and i wanted to do something other than black. My other tanks have black.
My walls are painted a light grey so I think it looks cool.

well the "aqua" color you see is a little lighter in the picture so we'll see how i like it of not its not hard to add a background

Also what do you guys think about leaving the lights on? should i do 12 a day for 8 a day? or would i be okay with having them off?

well thought i might as well give a small update, getting rock sometime next week (calling and arranging on Monday) the sand is starting to get a red layer almost on it? not sure what this is almost looks like very tiny amount of rusting but i know its not, lots of critters on this rock, all very very small, some tube worms that poke their little fans out witch is cool, are these a form of feather dusters?

love the minimalistic approach, very classy! If you really want to make a statement, remove one of the rocks.

The film on your sand is probably diatoms. Pretty standard stuff for a new tank. It will die off as your cycle continues.
