    Its still a bit cloudy, but the sand is in, and it looks great.

    I removed the background as it wasn't very well done in the first place. Now, do I leave it clear is the question?

    Without background: easy maintenance. You see through to the other room (not yet finished). Doesn't look as good.

    With background: background looks much better from a show off point of view. Maintenance becomes a lot harder. I can only maintenance top down and lose perspective.

    I was thinking no background so you can enjoy from both sides and maintenance would be easier.

    looks like you can easily keep the back room cleaned up so it is not distracting.

    If you have an artist in the family have them paint that back wall like a reef ;) or you could find some really cool reef posters or background and put that on the wall :laughy:

    I'd like to look into a removable background. That would solve couple things.
