if you are doing an inwall then access and ability to view from the back is something to be considered. I know it was for me.
My DT is inwall and all access/fish room / equip access is behind that.

I wanted a black background but I needed to be able to see in when I had too.

Took a few months of thinking, perking, pondering then finally figured out what works for us.

I bought 2 large sheets of the corrugated plastic ( like they use for signs) and carefully cut them to fit around all the stuff on the exterior of the back wall of the tank. Then i spray painted them black with many thin coats of paint.

Can slide them off when I need access/view......put them on when I want the black background look.

worked like a dream and very glad I didn't rush into a solution that wouldn't have worked out nearly as well.

Ive always done vinyl because its less time consuming for something thats mostly going to be hidden by rockwork and covered coraline....Ive always been too lazy to clean the back glass....I voted black, although I have blue now....

I voted other, as mine is coraline

My black background is $6 of nylon from fabricland and industrial adhesive velcro from home depot

i did a blue background with fabric and velcro as well, then if i get sick of the colour i can change it easily
