Hmm not for me. I like as natural a look (or at least what I believe to be a natural look) as I can get..

Dirty Mike and the Boys!Haha like when i see a picture of someones sump and it looks like NASA put it together and then i see the tank and it looks like the equivelant of a homeless camp for corals.
honest crowd, we don't all have to agree It's all good bro, you do you! I'm sure your tank will be a work of love once you get it there.Tough crowd
It's called personal preference, my friend. I worked my butt off to have what I needed to survive, now in retirement I'll enjoy the things I WANT. My money, my preference.When i had visitors i used to show them my fish and corals, not 'hey look at my lights, look at my skimmer, look at all the equipment.
Why do people bother buying fish and corals, just buy a tank, fill it with water and then buy lots of fancy equipment, the saving on not buying fish and corals will be immense, just think how much more money you will have to spend on equipment to show people.
Red, pink, or purple background on a reef tank looks cartoonish. A dark blue might be ok. If you want to use it for alerts, go for it. The video also showed a tank with no returns, overflow, or pumps. A black overflow box on a pink background? I use a black background so my pumps, overflow, and return blend in as much as possible. Funky colors would do just the opposite. BTW, I didn't call you ridiculous. To clarify, I said using weird colors for the background of a reef tank looks ridiculous.Mind sharing more as to why you believe it's ridiculous? I find peace of mind in having my LED strip glow bright red when something is amiss in my tank. I'm home a lot, don't live with my phone in my hands and generally prefer having the redundancy of alerts via phone notifications and visual. Color coding alerts is next on the smart tank list. Apex - Webcore - Smartthings - IFTTT - Tasker - Radion lighting... Love it all. Call me ridiculous if you wish, it all serves a purpose for me. Oh, I'm far from 5 years old.
i absolutely love it and might get one. hopefully i can get it to look like a lion king musical sunriseTough crowd
Yeah personal preference, doesnt mean i have to like it, or are opinions that think its great the only ones that are allowed?It's called personal preference, my friend. I worked my butt off to have what I needed to survive, now in retirement I'll enjoy the things I WANT. My money, my preference.

I have no idea what your working situation has to do with all this, anybody would think its your tank.
Yikes! Easy breezy. Don't get your water too choppy...Can you please read the title of this thread again.
A "color changing" background for your reef tank! What do you think?

Who's upset here? Have a wonderful day, my friend.
Gotta check out some of these European set ups.... Ive seen some crazy stuff turning equipment into decorations....Whatever happened to just admiring the fish and corals?
Has the hobby really gone from keeping fish and corals to keeping fancy equipment?
I fear it has.
