Glad to see you back. Can't wait to see pictures of the new tank up and running. And maybe the odd one of the little angel too.

Just a quick question. The tank i have had one the those backgrounds you buy, it was attached with that background adhesive (oily stuff) Is there any type of solvent that is safe to use on the back of the aquarium to remove it so i can paint it? Or what would anyone recommend i use to remove it?

Tank is looking great. She is a sweatheart for sure...makes me wish my daughter was sweet and innocent again, well almost.

Although I saw the cost of diapers in Walmart yesterday and couldn't believe it. YIKES!

So i got my filter/pump on Friday, and filled the tank on Saturday! Picked up some LR from a member of this site today! Here is the token shot of the cloudy tank with cloudy aquascaping! Ill take a new picture when the tank clears! So far i like the aquascape, i've always subscribed to the less is more school of thought! Let me know what you all think!

Tanks specs to date are; 40 Gal Breeder, 4bulb 36" Tek fixture, AC110, Koralia evolution 3. AC70 heater 30lbs LR

Ill take a picture of the aquascaping with the water cleared after work today!

Here are a couple pics of the aquascape in cleared water! Let me know what you all think. Also is a picture of the tank with auto white balance and a pic of the tank with corrected white balance. To the naked eye it is more like a combo between the two. I personally find the tank way to blue for my liking. I m currently running two new gen coral lights and two aqua blues. I may just run 4 new gens.
