A background totally depends on your preference. For myself, i would not paint it, but have a solid type wallpaper color such as a dark blue. The background is used just to project the picture of the tank itself.
I've been looking at the Eheim 2234 external filter as well as the Jager 150W heater. Need recommendations for a protein skimmer, lighting, and powerheads (looking at top quality)
Hey all:
I was wondering as a starter to see what kinds of equipment is used for my new tank i will soon purchase. I know all the basics, but was wondering more about lighting, the number of fish you can put and how the cycle works.
