Just ordered a coralife 4 stage RO/DI 50gpd unit

Don't really like the background so I am going to redo it today thinking blue

 

[baron1282]

Yeah, I had no background for a while. It didn't look good at all. I put the background on and it made a world of difference!!

 

[Raleighfishnerd]

Yeah I tried out a gold/brown and was not happy so scraped it off today painting it a light blue tomorrow so we shall see how that looks

 

[Raleighfishnerd]

Repaint done. Much happier now looks more natural

Started building a cabinet around my stand today

 

[Raleighfishnerd]

Got my skimmer in today now to figure out the setup

 

[Raleighfishnerd]

So don't like the way the skimmer looked on the back of the tank so it will now b the first stage of my sump that I am building. Hope it works out!
