New Decor...Looking sharp in black!

[STONEDFISH]

I had neon gravel when I set this tank up about five years ago....the fish and I were sick of looking at it. So switched to solid black and I think the fish look GREAT colors POP!.... Check it out!
OLD then NEW

i liek the black gravel better. However i'd also take out that blue glass ornament and some of those colourful glass stones to the right. But thats just me.

Black gravel looks a lot better IMO. That arow looks a little tight in that tank. Is that a 55 gallon?

It will sharpen the look even more

I take it aquascaping isn't your forte?

It's more for matching the decoration in the room then anything else....not going for the all-natural look really.
I took the glass out and added a few more stones...and I do like it better. New pics later.

Black substrate is really nice. Personally I prefer black sand, but thats just me.

How big is that tank? Do you have plans for a bigger one soon?

I have two tanks with black gravel and I love the look, especially with a black bkgd.
Only downside is that when the enamel starts to chip with age it really shows up & looks like crap.

That my friends, is an overstocked 55 gallon....yes, I am that guy right now.
I live in an apartment on the top floor until I get married this summer, then I will set up a 180. I lucked out and my friend has one sitting empty in his garage that his in-laws left him when they moved. I still have to buy a couple filters and lights. I hope my arowana can wait to move.. I don't want to give him away
