Wnat colour do U guys paint your backgrounds . On my tank right now it’s black but my fish darken up Quite a bit.
Hi all I started my 75 g build a few weeks ago and made some good progress on it . It’s a 75 g with a 30g sump and cor 20 return pump.
Wnat colour do U guys paint your backgrounds . On my tank right now it’s black but my fish darken up Quite a bit.
Hi Kfactor, generally blue or a light color. Nice clean setup. Did you design your own sump?

Got water in the tank just waiting for it to get to temp and add my media to it
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.
Wow! Great setup and love your sump. Looking forward to watching this tank progress!
here are a few more pics I have a few thing to do yet but my discus seem happy 020.jpg
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
