Changed the background on planted tank.

I changed out the background on my tank today from a plant looking one to an all black one. Looking for ideas on how it looks now. Click image for larger version

Looks much better... I've used the midnight blue on 2 tanks but I've gotten the same black for my new setup.. i have one penguin too, I'm thinking I'll have to get rid of that useless gray flow piece, other than that the intakes blend in quite nicely.

That's true, that gray piece really doesn't serve a purpose. I just never noticed until you said that. I will have to take them off.

Sorry, wasn't nit picking, i have the same issue. They do block a bunch of slots so you can't remove it without covering the holes somehow or else you'll lose suction

Don't blame you.

I can't say I'm very hopeful about the Bears, even with him, though I remain a loyal fan.

I like it, it highlights the plants more and the background less. Let's just hope the cowboys aren't 8-8 this year!

Ya I think the plants and fish pop out more than with the plant background. After last year I would be happy with the Vikings being 8-8 lol
