Hi I started this hobby in April. I am upgrading to a 75 gal freshwater community tank from a 20 gal. I am so excited, I would like to do a larger school of the tetras. I would love an angelfish. The guppies are nice but all they do is chase each other and also chase the MM platy. I really love...

Hi. I am trying to decide what background to use for a new 75 gal tank. I was set on doing a plastic type that tapes on the back but my LFS had these 3d type inserts that costs minimum of $150. I started researching and found that a black background will show colors more . I am really confused...
