Welcome to 3reef. Looks like the kids are already interested. A saltwater tank makes a great teaching tool for them to learn about all kinds of things: math, science, biology, overcomng obstacles, compromise, etc, etc. My two girls, 10 and 7, love it. I don't think they even realize they are learning new things when we talk about it. Good luck. PS, personally I like black or dark blue for a background.
