    I was talking about the wall where that paint can is.. but yes have seen some decent backgrounds you can tape on the back of your tank. If it looks to cheesy it is easily removed.

    If I were you I would either get a sheet of black starboard or acryic so its durable and can be easily removed for cleaning. Barring that the black and blue laminated tank backing has always worked for me.

    Another topic I would like to present is my futrue stocking list. Currently I have:

    (2) Paired Mocha Ocellaris Clownfish
    (2) Paired B/W Ocellaris Clownfish
    (1) Engineering Goby
    (1) Midas Blenny

    As for future fish I am open for suggestion. My thoughts were:

    (6) Blue Green Chromis
    (1) Clown Tang
    (1) Powder Blue Tang
    (1) Copperband Butterflyfish

    I'd stay away from the clown tang. The vast majority i've read about get mean and deadly

    Added my first livestock over the wknd. I broke down my 10 gallon that had a few coral and my mocha clowns. They seem do be doing very well. Hopefully this wknd I will transfer my 55 gallon.

    tank and inhabitants are looking really good. They're probably very excited with all the swimming room!

    I watched the video on the removable back and that looked to be a very cool idea!

    In terms of future stocking, I agree with others in nixing the clown tang. The others sound great! You have so many options with such a large tank.
