A "color changing" background for your reef tank! What do you think?

[Ichtha_yo Stuff]

I have it on two of my tanks, at first I thought it might be gimmicky but I enjoy being able to change the color.

I am doing this very thing with my current 180 gallon
build.

Killah!!! Nice scape.

My current tank is mounted in an opening between rooms and requires cleaning on all four sides. My future tanks will only require cleaning on the front glass lol, so no.

On this side of the fence, I wish I had 4 viewing panels of 8k ocean life....I guess I'll just make do with 3

I tried the above method and didn’t like the result. I am very picky. The Lightground background is perfect and really makes the tank pop.

Can/ Do you use your algae magnet over the back glass with this setup?

I have to admit some of the photos look cool but I don't clean the back glass ever and I get enough of a room glow from the overhead tank lights.

While you at it how about a computer monitor behind the back glass then you can change your background to actual photos.

While it seems like a cool idea, I didn't spend all the time and resources to build a disco tank in my living room.

I'm a dive instructor and I've dove all over the world and never seen a reef that would have that look.

But, hey, each to their own! ;Joyful

I’ve thought about doing something like this behind my tank (black glass). Partly for ambience but also tied into my hydros for larger visual alerts

As part of a sunrise/sunset (shadowbox) setup I can see how this could add something. The only problem is for this to be natural enough looking the lightsource has to be topside, which it isn't in this setup/example.

That would look great. Tag me if you get it going, would love to see it.

For those interested in seeing how the lighted background came out with fish and corals…
