Great looking tank! How long have you had it setup? I'm thinking about adding one of those backgrounds to my cichlid setup, but I'm not sure what to do with the fish and how to keep my biological filter running... it's a trickle filter in a sump. Check out my video of my tank...
Hi, sorry only just noticed this question. It's been like this for around 9-10 Months. i'm very pleased with it but would've prefered getting a custom built tank for it as you loose so much space by adding this, so would've been nice to get a custom tank made with a much wider bit of glass to the sides.
The plants are plastic and no longer in the tank as i didn't really like the look of them once the Algae started to settle onto them, The substrate is just Crushed Coral Sand.
