How to fill the gap between tank and wall
I have 3.5 inches of space between the tank and wall and you can see everything behind it.
What do you guys use to fill this gap if you do?
I was thinking of something foam based that you can cut to fit.
If you have ideas or photos of what your doing, please pass along.
Thanks

You might find some thin styro sheets like they use for packing stuff and cut to fit, tape edges, easy to remove at maint time. make side panels that match the stand/canopy, but thats more work

You just have to admire the artistic wire design that makes your reef life exist!

I think a nice Macaw sitting on top of your Canopy would keep your eyes busy and off the back.

Jumpers? I almost lost a clown that way.
I like the plant idea Mike.

I have a dragon on top of my canopy so it keeps your eyes off the scratches.

I have a foot between my tank and the wall. Have to get back there sometimes.
