I like the dark blue effect as well...

recently set up a tank for my nephew, and use dark metalic blue mylar
sheets i picked up at the dollar store. (something like 4/$1 or some
such).

I stuck Indian slate to the inside back glass. Total cost was about
US$40.00
for a 6' x 2' x 2' tank. Here are a few pics:

And a few more after changing the layout and plants
a few months later:

Beautiful tank! I stuck Italian tiles on the back of my Zebra tank, on the
inside, that works ok as well.. Although my favourite would be Back to
Nature Amazone which I have in the community tank! STill, it's something
special to have something nobody else does, and I really liked what you did
