A black background would look really nice on your tank..also would help keep the available light from bleeding out of the back of the tank..
 
Looks at first pic.. very nice.

Looks at next pic.. MY EYES!!

...turns down screen brightness. Wow man, that's a huge difference. You're going to be able to keep a lot more plants, not to mention some ferts. Should take off well. Watch out for algae.

Yea I was amazed at how bright it was for only $20 when I see others go for 40. Soon I will remove the ancharis. I got it because it was a beginner plant and I got a lot of it.
