this is what the tank looks like right now. i painted the back of it bright white so i hope it gives me a good look with it. i did this to my nano and i love the way it looks but if i dont like it i can still get behind the tank to scrape it off and paint it a different color. any ideas on a good color other then white or black??

Terry the tank looks awesome without the marble over flow, I had purchased the tank used and the guy before me had the marble to match his gravel (freshwater)

cant wait to see it filled with water and rock and fish and coral, lol.

BTW, all thats going to be by the weekend eh..

Looking great! I have a black background on my tank and find that I am battling trying to keep it religiously clean because it picks up green and purple coraline spots very easily I guess you can't really get away from that though. I wonder if white might highlight the coraline even more
