Since I had a problem with the previuos background I had to re-do it.

Enjoy.

I will be adding the bio-balls as soon as I done curing the concrete.
The return pump is a MAG 18
I also have a mag 9 setup as a closed loop for added circulation. The reason I have a closed loop setup is because this tank was suppose to be a saltwater setup.

That black circle is the sponge for the closed loop. I have about 9 caves in the background.


Should I leave it like that or should I add rocks in the bottom of the tank?

I would go with some rocks along the bottom on at least one side, or the middle. That doesn't look to be many hiding spots.

That background looks awesome! Does it add alot of weight to the tank?

Great work as always man! I would personally add a few rocks/rock piles to give some visual interest to the bottom if you can find a natural looking match.

Always inspiring! Thanks for sharing.

I'm going to go to the lanscaper's store to see if I find brown rocks.

Thanks for the comments guys.
