Weekend Poll - What colour should I paint the back of my tank?

[WarDog]

Looking for popular opinions here. What's your favourite colour?

Black
White (Is this just crazy?)
Deep sea navy blue
Shallow reef royal blue

[spit.fire]

hot neon pink


but in all seriousness i paint the back black and the bottom white

[monocus]

if your undecided,use a plastic christmas paper that the colour is printed on foil(solid colour).if you don't like it you can always change the colour .the next tank i build i am thinking of air brushing the back to make it look like more depth.but all the tanks i've seen there is a lot of coralline growing on the back so your background disappears

I like royal blue.
But I have not seen that colour for a very long long time.
Lots of coraline on my back glass just as monocus said lol

[WarDog]

I see where you are coming from. I am planning to have my rock work free-standing from the back glass as to be able to keep it coralline free (I hope).

Green to match the algae lol

But would pick black

Put an led or plasma tv behind it and seal it to the back to avoid salt creep then you can put on various screen savers or random pics to have it changing constantly

That's a really good idea, I do have a couple flat screens kicking around. Maybe incorporate an old 17" LCD monitor into a custom Concepts nano? Now you've got me thinking about a second tank! Lol.

Still undecided what to do with the back of the first tank.

You could play 'Finding Nemo' over and over again.

In my opinion - black looks the best on an LPS tank. The royal blue looks best for fish only & maybe even SPS. Haven't seen white - therefor I cannot comment ... However, I think it might look funny
