    I will be redoing my reef aquarium (40B) and will be stocking with clowns and anemones. I want a piece of artwork to hang on the wall behind my aquarium. Does anyone have or want any art around their tank or in their home. "I would likes" are always welcome.:D

    I have a nice hardwood framed print of an elk hanging above my tank. My wife was skeptical that it would be a good fit, but changed her mind when she seen it hung. I originally wanted something with a hint of a fish theme, but I'm glad we went the way we did.

    A clock is a good idea, I am wanting something with a clownfish theme but maybe I should look to something else. A nice 3-D metal piece like this \/ but with Clownfish and anemones.

    I thought you meant behind the tank, so that you could see it thru the tank, right?

    Unless you clean your backwall, after 4-6 months- it won't matter anyways

    I had a canvas print of a photograph that I had taken of a pier handing behind the tank, It actually helped to hide the light a bit as at eye level the light was perfectly lined up with the bottom of the picture.

    I have a corner that need art to fill it. I am waiting for a chance to commission this dude to do something. I'm not inherently an Asian art fan, but this seems right.

    I used to have 3 tarnished bronze fish hanging above my tank. They now are in my hallway and nothing is over my tank, but now that you mention it, i think i should put something there.
