This is a topic that started in another thread that I am sure will stir up some rousing conversation. Black background or Blue Background or Clear.

fuorescent neon orange. Im all for background taking away from the coral/fish.

 

[adamrose]

its all a matter of personal preference IMO.


however, my preference, and the bg in my tank - Black.

it depends on the tank..

Black on most tanks..

Clear on Room dividers, Clear on rimless, IMO you ruined the look of your 120xl

i use black because it appears to give more depth appearance and makes anything pop thats in front of it

 

[midtownman]

not to get off the subject but is it good to paint in ur background? oh but score 1 for blue
but then again i never tried black so ill let you know soon

3 sided tank - Black
2 sided tank - Black
1 sided tank - Black
4 sided tank- Clear

coraline on the glass is the sign of a lazy reefer. is that enough controversy?

oh i did paint my frag tank a nice blue green underwater look

one of my favorite clear back tanks...i'd hardly call this guy a newbie.

 

[jhale]

he does not even have the overflow covered. that's a real spartan look.

 

[vinny]

I agree 10000000000% Too bad my 55 background was coerced into a blue background by certain members here. And My Nano the only background that I was able to use was the black back wall.
