75 gallon

[gatorjon]

Just got a 75 (stand,filter and light for 100 bucks). 1st time I have had one this big. I got black gravel but haven't started my build until this weekend. Not sure on gravel and want it to look good that will bring out the best color in my fish. Any suggestions? With black gravel would a black background be to much? I'll have all live plants and need some idea's. I'm stuck any suggestions would be great full.

Black sand is the bomb

My 75 gallon with black blasting sand and EC mixed substrate with black background. The light fixture sucks, sorry about the glare and 'scaping is not done yet but here it is...
