How to make the background Pitch Black like this?

[Subnautica]

This is an ad from Waterbox. Also in many other tanks I've seen they have a pitch black background, meaning little to no light reflection on it. In my 75gal tank I struggle to do that. My Kessil lights always spill some lights on the background.

Look at the wall and the light

I think all of the WB tanks have an internal/"reef ready" flow which will give it the black background because its all black plastic at the back of the tank.

I did order their 270 ReefLX - however I cancelled it because unfortunately underneath in the cabinet - the space is divided in the larger aquariums - and the divider cannot be removed (I had them ask their engineering department). This means you're limited to a sump of around 100cm if you choose to replace theirs and optimize the space.

Its black glass in the wb aquariums not plastic

Nothing that's reef safe will be that black and have no reflections. Black plastic in particular will look/turn grayblue with time, especially after you scratch it all up cleaning corraline off

My 180 was painted black across the back glass, on the outside of the tank. It was older when I got it but was pretty dang black.

Tank lights are off. Turn them on and then see if there is reflection of light. I know this is not your tank but it is misleading with the main lights being off, I would think.

My tank has a black tint on the back of it.
