I have black gravel with a black background in my 29g tank. Without changing the gravel, what would you do to lighten up the tank. It is sometimes hard to see the fish cause they blend with the gravel.

I'd either add lighter sand (without removing substrate) or add more light.

I have the same issue in one of my tanks. I found that adding large, light-colored decorations really made a difference...More than I thought they would. It's the only tank where I really like my big quartz rocks.

I have a 58g acrylic with black background and black substrate also. I added a couple big piece of texas holey rock(limestone) and a few big white shells it really brighten it up and looks great. Proper lighting is also important. I will add a picture tonight

+1 Reflects and scatters light that otherwise gets absorbed by your black substrate.

You could mix in 10lbs or so of crushed coral to the gravel
