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

[GROPP]

Tuff call for me too between royal blue or black, I ended up going royal blue, looks really nice when the coraline fills in, but if I was to do it again I think I'd do it black, cause if you have acrylic overflow boxes they blend in better

I have a coast to coast overflow, so it's black acrylic. I keep it nice and clean with a plastic scraper and it looks real sharp. I've seen the two blues airbrushed and blended into each other. Beautiful effect!!!!

I voted for the fifth option (clear/unpainted). This way you can put a painted or printed sheet behind the tank and change it up anytime you like.

I put a black self-adhesive sticker on the back of mine. I find that black makes the colour of the corals and fish pop....

MY vote goes to tie die can u do that with paint ?

[WarDog]

Well the votes are in and black seems to be the most popular. Thank you everyone for voting... except Kien, you can't make your own options man. That kind of Capt. Kirk cheating will eventually get you Andorrean Herpes!
Going to buy some paint today but it is still a tough call for me. Guess I will follow the pack off the cliff and go with black. Planning a frag tank down the road so I could change it up then.

There's no such thing as a no win scenario..

LOL!!! Your idea about leaving it clear and using different coloured panels is a good idea in theory... but sounds like way too much work!
