Thanks I know. Im waiting for my plants to grow and then put some at the back.. the filter I cant do a dam thing about it as my tube for the undergravel is there in the back corner.. but yes as soon as my plants grow then I can sort it out.

I like it too.. although if your open to comment.. i think it would look even better with a plain black background.. you've spent a lot of time putting in shape, colour and texture, but is lost a little with the busy background.. you may find that on the back of the one that you have, it is black

Mine is coloured on one side with a picture, and plain black on the back... see below.

Most LFS usually have some sort of backing that is black.. often on the back of them as I previously said.. otherwise, some people have had success with a cut up bin liner taped tightly on, or paint.. But for a couple of quid, i'd try your LFS first

Iv just called the LFS, he hasnt got any, he then called his supplier and they have but it will cost me £3 a foot and its 18 tall so I would have to cut some off anyways so it would cost me £12.. omg thats exstausion.
I then called the dreaded pets at home and they only do the corrigate in water background and I dont want that.. hmm

That's a really good idea that. Blacking out the back of the tank with card. I agree it looks really good. I have light coloured gravel in my tank too which it looks good with. I am going to have to try this.
