    Hi Kfactor, generally blue or a light color. Nice clean setup. Did you design your own sump?

    I would suggest not going too dark. Your discus might darken up to match the background.

    Love the background! The whole set up looks great. I’m always impressed by these builds. I don’t understand them, but it looks like a labor of love and the finished product is always the envy of this “store bought” person! I’ll be following this thread to see what happens next.

    Very nice setup. It looks like a build I would design. It reminds me of my (still empty) salt water 22g with 30g sump. I believe the background to be a little dark. I've always preferred lighter colors with my discus tanks but that is a very personal thing
