    What for? I've only heard of this being done with beta tanks. Did you mean in a reef tank?

    I've heard it drives fish crazy (and not in a good way)!

    you would have to manually clean the back glass often to maintain the image you're probably imagining.

    just my 2 cents

    You would drive the fish crazy, and you would be cleaning the bacl glass constantly
