![]() Since I am changing my DT to an in wall setup I need to do something with the background. It currently has a nice medium blue vinyl background but only on the rear. I assume that I should create a background that wraps both sides and the rear. There are many opinions on colors and I wanted to see what the current consensus is.
I also wouldn't mind hearing opinions on paint vs vinyl and brands or sources of each. |

![]() Blue or black.
I like black, IMO it makes colors really pop. In the end everything turns purple ![]() |

![]() this poll couldn't have come at a better time. im trying to see what color to paint the back or if im going to use a vinyl background. both colors have their merits. like i think black helps make fish pop but blue really brightens up a tank and gives it a more serene feeling. you could paint the back light-ish blue and the sides a darker blue to give the effect of a wider and deeper tank then what it actually is and makes sense because the ocean is like that where its darker as it goes on

![]() If I knew a way to do it I would love to have a fade from black at the bottom through a darker blue in the middle to a rippled sky blue at the top. Similar to what you see while diving. Seems risky though...

![]() i went back to black about a month ago. hung a pair of king-sized black sheets on the wall behind my tank lol. the blue made the 3 feet front to back seem deeper than it was and the black kills that effect. but everything i'm keeping in the tank looks far better.

![]() im not sure what your budget is but you can propbably hire a professional artist to paint the fading for you. it'll cost a 100-200 but its totally worth it because of the effect it would give and how uncommon it is
