Background Colour
 

I was wondering what background colour to use

once you go black, you will never go back.......... did I just say that?

If I cud do it again, I'd use black

one tank is black and one tank is blue. Once all the coraline grows it doesn't really matter.

clear :P no bacground

i was at a store just recently and they had this background that was blue but it looked as though you were at the bottom on the ocean looking up, had some ripples like the waves and such. looked awesome, i put some on my buddies freshwater tank and it looked amazing.

+1 :wink:

I currently have blue (only thing I could find around here) but will be using black on my next tank

I guess it only matters if your going to scrape it and keep it clean. I voted black, I have had black and the light blue that most people use and black is way better IMO. Having said that I think a very dark blue would work too, like royal or navy blue.

lol....

why not white or grey?

black for me

I'm a Blue Man!

My old tank had a white. loved the look but algae really stood out on it

good reason to keep it clean

Keep it clean and black. It frames the corals better and makes the colors pop. If you're into that nice looking corals kind of thing.

Yeah, did you really say that? :razz: So they say :redface:
Royal blue all the way! :biggrin:

midnight blue. almost black but still blue.

I did my tank in white....I like it....makes it very bright.

definitely let me know when to pull out the razor.

I've had both and I prefer blue but it really boils down to what you like yourself since taste is a rather personal thing. You are the one that will see it every day so make it what you like and don't get caught up in worrying about the opinions of others.

You wouldn't consider white? Here's a pic of an old tank of mine if you want a reference.

Its nice because the white background sort of adopts what ever color temp your bulbs are. To me it give the most depth and is the most natural looking.

Thanks That looks good Now I have to figure out black or White
