No black is fine,I agree blue is petsmart looking,but to name just a few-greens,browns..I dunno,guessing after awhile when the coraline algea grows it wouldnt much matter anyhow.
Just go to petsmart and get a coral reef background and stick it on there.
+1, also a lot cheaper on the wallet.

lol. I'm going to get you some of that background for the 65 Brian. If you use it I willl too.
Sooooo, I'm so happy i could cry! Finally received notification that my Sicce shipped! And only after 17 days!!! I'm going to have to go wake Olivier up now! I think he's sleeping in my sump.
I think as far as equipment goes all I have to do is get the AI from the group buy and some plumbing and I'll be set! Once I get the plumbing you're invited over again Brian

You have to get the special stuff that sticks the background to the glass and makes it look flawless. It removes the air and decreases refraction or something. Can't remember what it all said, but I was just looking at it the other day at petco when I went to get a 5 gal tank for my ATO. I was going to get a tube of it and try it on the 65.
hahaha too funny...so its agreed-brown,green,blue,black,blue silver,red and sticky special stuff...I think this will be a reallly unique backround..lol
Ok no sticky stuff but we are still going to paint a rainbow on the back of the tank.
The race is on!!! I am going to pickup my pump tomorrow.
HD doesn't sell flex PVC. I'm actually about to place an order for ultra flexible PVC from M-D.com along with a SCWD and a check valve/union. Wanna get in on the order? We should get free shipping on the combined order.

Sounds good! Only problem is that I literally have no idea what all I need.....
Maybe I could just get the tubing? I really have to sit down and figure out how I want everything to work. I would need overflow and return tubing. Is that what you're getting? I'm sure I'm going to need planty of other fittings but I can get them at HD if need be. I will have to measure the stand to see how high it is and how much tubing I will need.

I'm just getting 6' for the returns and 4' for the drain. The ball valves and fittings I'm getting from BRS, would be nice to get them from the PA group buy, but I can't wait that long.
That's 6' / 3, tank is 24" tall x 2 returns is 4' and sump to manifold (height of stand) is 2'. And going backwards tank + stand = 4' of drain. There I going doing math again like the meeting. I'll PM and we can discuss further.
