Goal is to cover mid way up to the back of the tank so you don't see as many wires. Wishing i had painted the back.

An idea if you like is to place a piece of black 1/8 acrylic you only need 1/8" clearance to slide it in , wouldn't have to be professional just functional , nothing wrong with lots of rock don't get me wrong but your not stuck .

With more rock you'll have less room to scape and less room for fish , keep in mind 99% of people don't max out their biological filtration a little rock goes a long way .

Throw filtration out of the equation and choose the look you want after all your looking to create a mini reef something natural , alot will have to go with your dimensions and overflow placement

Either way have fun and think 3d when scaping , canyons/caves/shelves/overhangs etc

Cheers

no need to pant the back of the tank.

Is the back easily accessible? If yes, go to a signs store an buy yourself a piece of mylar and apply to the back.

I just bought a custom built cube from OBD and the back is black. They put a piece of mylar on the back. Looks really sharp!!
