Dark sand typically makes fish colors show better

idk if youve seen my 75g but its white/tan play sand under reef leds and some white boulders, its more of a simple and clean design to match my living room decor and my fish pop with the drab scape, i have 3 peacocks in this tank and i can stare at it for hours lol but thats IMO, i just rescaped im still deciding if i like it

landscaping company, for $0.12/lb the yard guy gave me 180lbs and charged me for 100lbs a good conversation can go a long way,

and i do aquarium led conversions to hoods, its a small time business i run down here in texas.
