New 90g tank going up this weekend...

[AAUSbob]

Help me decorate.

please send donations to........ j/k just want help with ideas.

every tank ive ever had has been natural colored gravel, with some fake plants, clay pots, and some fake driftwood/cave structures.

ill be keeping a pair of Haitiensis in the tank and maybe a firemouth who's being a jerk in my festae tank.

i have access to some free rocks, 3-5 lb each as many as i want from like 2000. so i was gonna build a cave structure maybe.

anyways, post some ideas or pics to inspire me.

X2 black is by far the best

ok, i ended up with a 120g tall i guess ud call it. its 48x18 but taller then the 90. i got alil extra room, just vertically, since i didnt have any spare room width wise. plus it was dirt cheap.

i like the idea of a black background, but how would that look with the rocks i can get for free being black/dark grey too, is that too much. and what type of gravel/sand would u recommend?

with black rocks and background white sand would look awesome

If you're going to go with sand, definitely use pool filter sand. It's much heavier and settles much quicker, making tank maintenance a lot easier. I learned this the hard way. Good luck with the new tank.

if it's 48"x18"30" then it's actually a 110. That's what I have and it has a black background, plenty-o-rocks, and pfs and I absolutely love the way it looks, I'll never go back to a shorter tank(even though tall ones are a pita to clean)

This is without the black background(obviously) but you get the idea

I like it. Looks like a pile of fun for fish!
