looks good ricky...just a thought but perhaps some larger driftwood as a centerpiece(if your ph can take it) and a nice background

i think it looks great ricky. if you get the chance when the tank is empty spray pain the back of it black(i spray paint the back of my 65 gallon tank black with a latex krylon flat black paint). this way you never get the water between the tank and the background.
