You did ask for our opinion...

A mirror? Sounds very interesting...wow thanks for the idea...I will do some researchIf I may make a suggestion: depending on your fish, have you considered a mirror? I have six dwarf neon rainbows in my 29 gal, but it appears as if there are twice that many due to the mirrors behind the tank. When I first put them in the tank, the fish literally were looking at themselves in the mirrors, as if to say, hey, I know her and her and her (they're all female), but who is SHE?
The idea being...some fish like being in large schools and the mirror gives that feeling without actually overwhelming the biological filter/capacity of the tank.
Mirrors also give the perception of depth.
Again, it depends on the fish. I'd never put a mirror near a betta..that would be cruel. But my rainbows seem to like the mirror just fine.
If I may ask, did you use mirror tiles or did it come that way? My 65G back is mirrored so I can't change it, but I'm having a hard time cleaning it and it makes the water look cloudy.
