black or blue?
 
If you have painted the back of your tank what color did you choose, and are you happy with how it looks?

Oops I messed up adding the poll. I wanted to ask...

-black
-blue
-artificial backing
-clear

moderator help?

fixed it for ya :biggrin:

I chose blue for my current. I put a sticky plastic coat of blue on the back of my tank (I'm sure theres a more technical term for it :razz:). Previously I had a tank that I bought already painted black. I saw another reefer that had a nice blue on the back of his tank and really liked it enough to give it a try. Eventually it got covered over with algae and junk anyways :neutral:

I voted black but I would maybe go with dark, dark blue.

All mine are painted black but I would go for the fake backing if I could.

I have the vinyl sheet that's black on one side and blue on the other, so I can change it to suit my moods. :mrgreen: Really like that blue!

vinyl! thats the word I was looking for! anyways, I don't have mine stuck on, just taped on as I wasn't sure I would like it. I would suggest trying out the double sided stuff as ReeferRob suggested, that way you can decide which you like better :biggrin:

i chose black because it mask the overflow more and the lockline will not stand out as much. just my opinion though

vinyl!!! I see great minds think alike :lol:

I've got Vinyl on the back of my big tank as well. Black Vinyl. Picked it up at Fabricland.

I chose black.Black back and sand would contrast nice with bright coral.

I did blue but I wish I would have done black, it would bring out the colors more.
