The frosting backing is so easy to install that I can tell you with confidence that isn't too late for you to do it in your tank. Even if it is up and running

maybe you are right. i would need to think of a way to press it down tho. the tank is a 180gal so im not sure how i would reach behind it to press it down in the middle area.

Kyla, is that anyway you could pull the tank out a bit so you could go behind the tank to install the frosted window film. The process to apply it is the same way we install screen protectors for iPhone and iPad. All you need is a small spraying bottle mixing drinking water and few drop of dishwashing soap. The soap will smoothen the film when we apply it. Then you can use a card like old credit card to sweep the bubles and water out and let it dry. I did my best but there are still some tiny bubbles here and there. Lol

it would be a job to move the tank, i cant budge it even when its empty lol, but ill think about it

Update:
I moved the altum and other fish to the main tank, and they have been doing good with 20-30% daily water change. I notice the altum have grown a bit faster than I expect.

Looking so nice ! I love that piece of wood it's gorgeous.

If I may make a suggestion. Ditch that clay cave looking thing andnlook up cichlids stones or a real looking rock that hollow as a cave. You have this gorgeous bootie feel then boom this man made clay lump. Again just my opinion

Very nice,
+1 to Philly dubs clay hut idea

I agree with you guys about the clay huts, but wife and family love them, so I just leave them there for now. Maybe when the fish grow bigger, I will have the excuse to remove them. Hehe
Thanks everyone for the compliments and suggestions to make my dream tank process becomes betters. I really appreciate you all.

very nice tank. Love your Altums and Discus

Some updates:
I was growing the discus group in the patio, but there was an electric issue and lost the power in the patio due to storms. I had to move them into the main tank and been having growing them along with altum angelfish. I feed them multiple times with bh mix, bh flake, fdbw, and frozen worms during the day along with 50%. I hope they will turn out good.
