Aquarium Advice Freak
I have an unused 55 Gallon tank and base that im wanting to make into a Cichlid setup. I think i want to do a black background and black sand/gravel with texas Holey rock in the center forming a slight hill towards the middle with a few small green plants within the rocks. I would run a Aquaclear 110 Filter HOB, and a powerhead on the opposite side to create good current, also a submersible UV filter and heater. Has anyone tried the black on black with white rock and a 6500K lighting system? Does the fishes color pop or does the blues get lost in the dark? Or, does the black on black make the colors pop and the white washes out the fishes color, or does it all balance well and make the color stand out with the white against black with the orange blue and yellow against it all? If you have any pictures please post! thanks!
