Hey everyone! My name's Leonardo, and I'm from Brazil. I'm here to learn from all of you. I took down my reef tank 10 years ago for personal reasons, but after this long period, I'm back to set up a 350-liter tank in a peninsula style, with dimensions of approximately 55 inches in length, 22 inches in width, and 18 inches in height. It's going to be a mixed reef tank with soft, LPS, and SPS corals.

If anyone can help me out, I'd like to know if it's really tough to keep the back panel of the aquarium display in white color. I'm concerned about maintenance and cleaning. Thanks!

Youre saying back glass is white?

Welcome! If you stay on top of scrubbing it every couple days it will be okay.. the white will wanna attract and. Show algae more so for those reasons we don’t use it honestly. I’d do clear and put whit viynl on the outside and down the road if you don’t like it you can peel it and use black etc.. or even poster board so it very easy to change out.
