Hey sorry for the delay guys its been busy around here but everything is great with the tank! My P's Love it! They swim around now more than they ever did. Also I was worried about how much room that the background would take away from the actual space in the tank so I did some measuring and at the furthest forward point to the front glass there is 14 inches and that is the narrowest it gets only in some points. If there was ever to seem an issue with space I could cut the background out with no problems and go with the standard black black ground that I already have painted on the back. Other than that I have just been enjoying my P's and everyone that comes over cant believe how amazing the tank looks! thank you all for the compliments and I will try to post some more pics on here before too long!
