I bought a piece of coraplast for for about $25. It comes in 6' sheets, you can buy an array of colors. Its stiff so easy to cut and attach to the back. Plus, easy to change out if I decide to change background colors at some point. I was worried about the paint peeling or flaking down the road.

I'd like to purchase a male Naso Tang for my 125- I have received conflicting information from 2 local fish stores so, I bring the situation to you the experts: Store # 1 has a juvenile Naso (2-3") that they are telling me is male- said he will develop the streamers on his fin as he matures...
