Thank you, its getting there, but I am not too happy with the decor, man its hard to decorate a tank this large, I'll have to keep playing around with different items.

Love the background!!!!! You can keep the fake plants :D

What Egon said! That is an amazing background, but in my opinion fake plants kill the natural look. With that dark background, I would also use black air tubing rather than clear which stands out.

The rocks that you have also clash with the background - different colors, textures, and character.
 
Man, you are dropping some coin...everything is top notch. Where did you get those lights?

Looks like the air pump is blowing pretty good. Is it louder than the reeflo dart pump? Would you recommend it (the air pump) to a lunatic who has tank similar to yours?
 
Nice lighting!
Yes, I really like the lighting, the are really nice and bright. and the timer feature is nice to have, set them and let them do there thing..

Yes, I am not totally happy with the look somewhat myself. Can't seem to find the right rocks for the look I imagined. We use to have a place here that carried a lot of large rock for ponds and landscaping but they have went out of business, so I am extremly limited on what I have to use. I may have to take a trip out of town to find other items, but for now this is all I can get my hands on. The plants well, I am not a big fan of plants anyway but there is a compromise I am trying to keep with the wife. :ROFL:

Yeah, the rock is not my favorite, but its all I can find at the moment. Black air hose did crossed my mind as well but I have not started looking for it yet, the rocks and woods have been my focal point ..
