    2in10 your tank looks amazing. Imo you just showed why the back glass should be kept clean. It looks so much better.

    Yeah i like coralline, but it makes the contrast look idk too confined. The true color of the black makes it look infinite. Also the brighness of the purple strains the eyes a bit, looking at Johns entry, it focus the eye back to the coloration of the coral now.

    I wish my tank had some, i would love to give this a go, maybe try this again in 2 yrs would ya? lol

    Keep em coming, this should be interesting to see others!

    When I was putting this contest together I was simply thinking of some shots of your glass with coralline on it and your cleanup method - not a whole tank redo. Just something simple. FYI.

    I removed it because I didn't like the color is cast on the rest of the tank. After seeing it removed I decided that it was staying off.

    Seems I got it started in the wrong direction. They were the only shots I had though. If you had this contest about 4 weeks ago or so then I would have done some close ups.:(

    Oh no - you are officially in this contest. :)

    I am just saying to others that the glass is an easier route and what I had in mind.
