Great start, I like the black substrate.

Have you thought about putting a black backround on? It would provide a lot of contrast and hide the plumbing and power cords.

Torch coral looks really happy.
 
Ya thats the next thing im gonna get the black background im getting new leds n tomorrow ..I tried to get them today but post office said I have to wait for delivery lol inpatient hopefully my hammer and frogspawn will thrive with it ..thanks for the view keep the feedback and opinions coming guys its much appreciated
 
Little by little

tanks looks great! I agree I really like the black sand. Were the lower pictures progression shots? sorry if that's a stupid question.
 
No question is a stupid one especially for me being a newb in this hobby its official im getting the black background today thanks all for the response and feedback and yea ms.lady its progression just found those pics when I first got the tank
 
They have those black backrounds that you can add and remove, not sure what they are made of, it's not as sharp as a painted black backround but close.
New LEDs, well that will make a big difference in over all coloration.
 
Heres the leds im getting hope they are better than my current orbit setup

They put the current orbit to shame too bad no timer built in nor ramp timer but the brightness makes up for it very happy so far cant wait to get them over the tank
