This may not qualify as aquascaping. If it's not, please move as appropriate.

I would like to see pictures on non-black backgrounds and overflow covers, please.

Post away!

Mine is black, so I will just give you a bump.

Did a poll a while ago regarding background color. There a few pictures you may be interested in. Then again, you may not..lol.

I did move this over to the reef discussion as I think you'll get a better response there.

So I went through several threads (Which I found by using google not by the search engine here...odd) I ordered frosted window film for $6 on ebay and am going to backlight from the bottom pointing up with royal blue LEDs. Worst cast is, I don't like it and just shut the lights off. LOL.

I have a ton of LED supplies so I am not out anything if it doesn't look right.

That sounds like a cool idea! I'd like to see a pic when you get it going!

I plan on an entire build thread. But, I want to make sure of a few things before I start posting. Don't want it to be a dead thread after a few posts like so many build threads out there.
