If you don't want live plants but want the look go with silk plants, they look much more realistic. If you only have the plastics to work with I'd suggest a themed tank of some sort to make it fun. A background would help alot. ^_^ [hr width='40%'] "Ah, yes," said the toad. "You've got Nac Mac Feegles!"

The only thing that im having trouble with is the backround. It is a hex so im not sure how to give it a backround. Id rather not paint it either If you guys have any layout ideas, that would help a lot...Im having aquascapers block TIA I'll do graffiti, If you sing to me in French.

You could try it with a piece of wrapping paper, or anything you can find to use before getting the actual background. You could also always buy it long enough to go around the back 3 sides and just cut it down if you change your mind. ^_^ [hr width='40%'] "Ah, yes," said the toad. "You've got Nac Mac Feegles!"

Then I tried it with just the center back panel covered. The only difference I noticed was less room light entered the tank with the three panels covered.
