Money shot!

Nice color contrast on the fishes.

What type of rocks are those? They almost look like LR used in SW tanks.

I know a guy in Canada that does it. Looks good. But I think they used that bc they don't get Texas holy rock like we do.

o ok i see..

[myjohnson]

Yeah, its doable.

Personally, I wouldn't do it and I have LR I don't use. I'm scared the fw will leave traces of phosphate in the rocks. So if you ever decide to use those rocks in a reef tank you might have algae issues.

Looks great!!! Really like all the different color fish. What is the tank size? lighting? Black background, nice. Thought i was the only one with the black

Thanks that tank is 5ft x 2ft x 2ft, the lighting is 4 x T5 marine white tubes. Just painted the back of the tank lot handier than those backgrounds, used to have a pangea 3d background in there as well at one stage. I was considering putting it back in

+1 The fish colors are simply outstanding. The tank scale lets the colors just pop right out. Simply beautiful!
