here are a couple pics when i started first is when it had a habituall busy back ground

secondly without the busy background

the background is actually a piece of formica aka countertop this way if i get tired if the color i just get another chunk of formica i was thinking marble someday

Hey Jeff welcome to canreef!!

LOL, this is a support group, we're all in the same boat

The tank looks great, much better without the "busy background". Great aquascaping

Welcome to canreef

and yes this is a support group. Your set up looks great, I have to agree with Christy it does look better without the busy background.

if AA had keg parties this would be a support group. This is like trying to put out forest fire with gasoline.

like i say i have been lurking for awhile and have snooped at most your tanks already lol i just wish when i had built the stand 2 years ago i would have had sump in mind so im stuck with a 20g tall for now untoll i reinforce and take a dremel to some interior walls of the stand. i plan on a two part sump setup w/ refugem still working on the plans.

but thank you for the compliments

next step which is a recent idea is i want to change my glass box, keep the stand but upgrade to aprox 120g a few nip and tucks here and there and it should be doable. i have to price it out yet but i want an internal overflow for sure so i can get rid of the hang on back type.

not to sure if i will be keeping the 90g for a future sump or selling it. the wife and i have talked about putting a 3 to 400g in the basement for the daycare kids. which the 90 may be useful as a sump
