chippwalters Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Not mine.. Great thread on this technique at http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1868825 Just received my new tank and am thinking of building one of these. Anyone have any experience or thoughts on how best to do this? The back of my tank will be 24"W x 14"H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KimP Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 That's such a neat idea! There's a member on maast that did something kinda like this a while back on a tank full of macro and seahorses. I always thought I'd want to do that someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timfish Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I've seen pictures several times and Nilsen and Fossa demonstrated it on a really deep tank which looked pretty cool in Vol I of the series "The Modern Coral Reef Aquarium". Basicly what you want is a blue box behind the tank. They actually 'scaped it with dry coral skeletons. What I've been aprhensive is using one requires cleaning the back side of the tank as well but that would be much an issue with your setup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestep Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I've seen several where the wall behind the tank is painted light blue and it gives a really cool gradient effect. Haven't ever seen one like this though. Really give the tank depth, at least in pictures. I would definitely like to see one close up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
