Hi
Here is a picture of my current tanks setup awaiting small tank stand to move shrimp tank out the way ready for my 120cm competition tank To take it place this will sit beside my 60cm

Looks great, the little paintings are nice as well.
I'd paint the wall though, before that corner distracts too much from your nice tanks 😉

 

[Planted_Box]

yes ive just finished media wall and the plasterer just finish skimming it so its drying out then need to paint hahah

 

[Planted_Box]

Update ive finally fished room and painted wall

Lovely room, really nice job 👍…..now if you just knock down that media wall and shove that cabinet out of the way, you could squeeze a 7ft’er in I reckon. 😉😂😂

[KirstyF]

Looks great. They look super clean. I love Nano tanks too, they are so much easier to maintain than bigger tanks.

Just looking at your nano tank and the black background really makes a difference to how the tank looks. I'm undecided on white or black background. Is it an Ada background or just painted with black board paint as I know this method is used by some. Ive got some bb paint in the shed but im a bit worried about how it would turn out. Cheers

What brand did you get off eBay. And do you have small pockets of air. I bout a white one from b&q and it's terrible

Hi
I used black and white one from B&Q and it worked well.
I spray loads of water first to help me with taking the bubbles out then apply the film.Let it dry for a week and trim the edges after with a very sharp razor or paper knife.
One thing to be careful in not to fold the film as it will leave crease lines.
