Backgrounds

Just curious, I know it's personal taste, but what color background do you guys use?

 

We have black painted, tried baby blue didn't care for.

 

I feel blue detracts from the 'depth' of the tank more so than black does. If you keep your back wall clean of coraline and other algae, having a black back wall can lend itself to make your tank appear deeper than it is.

 

I used the same midnight black acrylic enamel paint that I used to paint my tank stand with.

 

I like black personally

 

We have one of each...I prefer black but I am told blue is the best choice...

 

Well, seems like I'm leaning more toward black background too. Wanted to make sure I wasn't missing out on anything!

Thanks!

 

I have both blue and black backgrounds and I like black more.

Yep black always looked better to me as well.

 

I used a black acrylic film I purchased from a local sign shop. It squeegies on just like window film and it can be removed easily.
