Extreme tank make-over; goodbye background

[Steve_89]

Good job mate.

That dat is awesome.

Still love those pbass too.

Looks like pulling that background down was a real effort.

There is a good article on the internet how to make those backgrounds. I think I have posted it on here before.

Lookin good lou......Nice dat....

Thanks!

yup, the background looked sweet, but then we'd probably all be postin threads on the removal process when we run out of room, haha lol. Great to see you had help, and the tank looks great now to.

Yeah, a bit more conservative with space and you can still make a nice background.

Try using a piece of penknife blade to scrap off those silicon. I tried and it work well.

The tank look so much Cleaner now.

Noted and thanks, but it where only air bubbles whe removed the silicone already bro.

interesting the colour change in the WB (for the better). Do you think this is because the cichlas are gone or the brighter appearance of the tank overall?
BTW the background was superb but it did kill a lot of valuable space.

I think it's because of the lighter tank. I believe that a light tank means a light dat. Esp. the substrate is important.

Good job mate.

Still love those pbass too.

Thanks Steve! I will try and get the previous owner of the tank to give some pics and words on how he made this, wich I then will translate.

I could not resist to add some gravel....added a layer of 5 mm. Here's a lousy updated fts.

And some pics of the background with a 1.5 ltr (0.4 g) bottle of soda.

the fish are looking well and it is better with substrate and hutty up with the black background LOL.
