EKen, that chili is beautiful.
I recently just got a 180 gallon tank. I need to decide if i should go for the blue or stick with the black. what's your opinion?
The 125 was getting a little cramped for the two aros.
Background color is really a personal taste thing bro. I changed my background into blue because I had Tigers in the tank, and since I almost love them more than my Red (Shh don't tell the Mods that). My girlfriend says black makes it look more elegant, but I find that blue makes your tank look more clear, and it gives a good contrast tothe orange color of a Red.
I did rechanged the background into black a few days ago, my girlfriend said the blue color makes the tank look fake. I like both backgrounds, and once in a while, a little change is fun. That is one of the main reason why I don't paint my tank. You be the judge...
