After a little thinking i decided to get the background clean it was almost covered with coraline so lets see the comparison pics are what my tank looks now a days

 

With coraline more natural look

Agreed. The scraped back looks way better. Making me wish I had painted my background black instead of blue.

 

 

 

 

Coralline scraped looks sick. TOTM for sure. You should paint the PVC fitting at the top left black.

 

Only Justin could look at an amazing tank like that and actually end up critiquing the plumbing.

Robie, scraped back looks so much better, makes the colors pop better against the background. Can you swing by and show me how it's done?

 

 

Then come and do mine :cheers:

lol i think blue looks good too my last tank had the blue background but for photographic reasons black gives you a better contrast :)

 

 

Tank looks outstanding did the pipefish make it?

 

thanks man!!! the pipe fish pair are doing great, they are inseparables i will definitely take more shots

Obviously i have a little more time in my hands now, but not the best time, my medical results from the kidney stone, came back and instead of 1 i have 9 of them and they found a couple of cysts one on each kidney, the doctor still running some test, to determine if i have to get surgery done :why: :cry: , and i might have to go in short term disability on my job .... will see what happends

 

here a pic of the DIY scraper 1/2 pvc pipe and razor blades will do the trick well,

the reason i bended the pipe is for more access though the back of the tank, and the slip fitting is to make it longer or shorter

Robie-

I hope everything turns out well with the stones. Let me know if you need any help if you're going to be down for any period of time. I can always swing by and give you a hand.

 

Tank looks great!
