Oh Darn...Need More Discus.

[jcardona1]

Jose, I have to know, how many tanks do you have? It seems like you're ALWAYS buying more fish. They all look awesome. I'm jealous (not in the bad way, more in the admiring way) of all your fish. I'm going to start doing that in 12 years (when I retire and start my 'next' career).

Thanks Eric! Right now I only have my 190g discus tank going. All the others are old setups, which I've gotten rid of. Just discus in my life for now

Sorry Pat for the hijacking

Yeah, sorry Pat, I have untreated, professionally-diagnosed-ADHD, I'm even worse in person.

I remember once doing an internet search that I found a DIY background where the person had a frame with a piece of opaque colored sheet with driftwood outlined in the sheet. It gave the impression to looking out into the water with a feeling of depth. Does this ring any bells?

Yup, it's called a Shadow Box

[Second Hand Pat]

Yes Jose, it is but can not find any links. I guess I could build a small prototype, shouldn't be too hard.

Found this link.

WOW! That shadow box thing is INCREDIBLE! Thanks for sharing that Pat, I am going to have to try it someday!

My tank is going well depending on Hans' schedule, I may have my fishes by middle of next week I'm so excited!

[Second Hand Pat]

Excited for you Melissa. When are you going to post pictures of that beautiful tank for yours?? I want to see. lol. I bet you wait until the wilds come.

I think the shadow box will work nicely if I can get the effect I want. Especially with the 31 inch height on this 230.

I looked at the link of the shadow box background and wow that looks good but also a lot of work.

Heeheehee yes you're right. I can't wait to seecwhat you can do with the shadow box idea!

[Second Hand Pat]

Yea, I figured you would make me wait (sticks out tongue). I have some ideas but need more research and get the tank home and will go from there.
