    Was wondering if anyone used a mirror for a background for their tank. I want to show off an anemone that REFUSES to stay in the front of the tank/various corals that have grown towards the back. Also if whether this would look appealing or not. Im not quite sure of the easiest/cheepest way, and would be a pain to expiriment, due to the amount of room i have, and all that hangs off the back.

    Any help would be appreciated- Thanx

    It's going to depend on your fish. Some fish will become aggressive with the "fish" they see in the mirror.

    ummm i have a standard deal on the back but the sides ofmy tank are kinda mirrored. one side by a wall and the other by my entertainment center. As i look into the tank from the front the sides appear mirrored even though there really not. Now i have a domino damsel( imma kill that bastard) lol. thats a different story. he is of the more aggresive damsels i have seen yet. but doesnt' appear to effect him much.... oh yeah the reason is .. I was trading a piece of zoa for another type of ppolyp so i reached in got my zoa n the lil ****er came up n bit me.. not once. not twice but 4 x's mean lil bastard. lol
