I was wondering if anyone knows where I can purchase the black vinyl background that japes used in his thread below. I tried doing an online search and I didn't get much answers. Can I get it from Home Depot or Lowes?

Also, would an FX5 suffice for a lightly stocked 150 gallon tank? I will have 3 fish in it for now and they are 8", 14", and 18" big.

I will be coming back to the hobby!!! Woot woot!!!
 
Don't know about the background , but you could spary it black .

About the Fx5 , i would say yes it should work , just make sure have the Media setup correctly . Also i would probily but a couple of Power heads in the tank too , to push the water/ Waste towards the Intake of the Fx5 .
 
Thans dj. I will probably be setting up two hydor koralia powerheads to help the water circulation.

Anyone on knows where in Cali I can get the vinyl background or vinyl sheet in general?
 
any sign shop sell it.

Welcoime back. If you like how Japes did his you should PM him and ask where he got his. He is a really nice guy and I'm sure would help you out. Otherwise like mentioned above, most lfs will have some variation of the background your looking for.
