Black or Blue?

[ZZROCOOL]

Purple coraline background look

you have to start somewhere before the coraline

 

[ZZROCOOL]

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 disagree its up against a wall Have you seen my tank>?

i seen them both ways and even up against a wall the clear looks better. Yes in your gallery

 

[ZZROCOOL]

all clear does is show you the cords and a wall with salt stuck on it

not if you do it right...there are alot of really nice elos tanks w/ clear backs and no cords showing on the reefcentral elos forum.

 

[ZZROCOOL]

just a matter of opinion and I like black

take a look at
www.greenwichaquaria.com
or any of JHales pics in the GA Eye Candy thread

 

[Wes]

ive seen them already. and jhale's tank isnt rimless, which would put it under my black background preference.

 

[ZZROCOOL]

1) actually I said jhales pics
2) my tank is 3 sides clear black background,
3) at the end of the day I have an ELOS tank and have had it set up both ways
you have only seen pics. It looks much better allowing the fish and coral to . when you view and photograph the tank. I'll take black any day

End of discussion for me

Black, clear, blue, pink, red, oranger, highlighter green, fire painted on teh back, burned glass, dirty glass, pee'd on glass, farted on color glass, salt creep glass, green glass, blue glass, and live fish glued to the back are all my preferences.

Tried them ALL and LOVE THEM!

Is this topic really serious enough to get all pissy about? Not really its the color of a background. People get to worked up over nothing. It's a hobby, psshttt...:bunny: I'm running for my life now

Good day all.

wow.

way to take a hobby, and turn it into something elitist and snobby.

This is why you have your own tank, and other people have theirs! I agree with you 100% (i love clean black bg's) but there is no need to badger people like that.

WOW i ruined the look of my own tank, funny how that works I appreciate you input but I think I will stick to black. But you must be the expert


I have to say that members like that ruin this forum and somehow they are popping up everywhere!

 

[OctaviousMonk]

I think a black background peeking out from behind the preferred purple Coraline is damn sexy!!!

 

[jhale]

:scratchch lets keep the background talk civilized shall we

 

[autoponicz]

i like the background of the background of my tank.

 

[RyanG]

Whats the difference blue makes your tank "appear" to have more depeth black make things stand out, BOTH look fantastic.

 

[JLAudio]

I personally perfer BLue for FOWLRS and FO, but BLACK all the way for reef tanks.

I know theres no real logic to this but just how I like it

And clear only if you have a rimless, room divider, or your neurotic as hell to keep ZERO algae of any kind on the glass and all wires and other distractions are considered.
