My backing is black and I think it looks more classy but makes the tank look darker.

I like the black that I have on my current tank, things really stand out againt it but any junk stuck to the black glass really does as well. I had a dark blue to black gradient on my nano, that was really cool and proably the way I will go next time.

You can do the gradient with spray paint but I think it would be a big pita.

The gradient with black bottom, blue top would be the best of both worlds. Not a HUGE PITA with spraypaint.
