May I check your background?

[Back where it all began]

Great answers! As you know, my 55 gallon is only 12 inches deep. Clear gives it more depth, but the rock, etc fade into the color of the wall. The idea of creating a "faux" background is interesting. Something along the lines of faux painting. Problem is, I have no talent for this,ha.

If you can, a pic would be cool.

Pretty barren after a power outage took out a bunch of corals so I had to take out the liverock it was on, but here ya go.

Painted the back Gloss black. Hides algae better

What, no glitter? :$

As far as a “background check” you can ask my cell mate. He can vouch for me.

Black and blue are the two classic backgrounds. I like to see through things so I’m clear.

That is cool. It is a real "faux" background. Really like the texture.

I like blue. Example below. Plastic wrap maybe it's called, not sure. Thin layer that you put on with the help of soap water. And it's possible to remove.

And if you don't put the tank too close the the wall, you'll be able to use a magnet cleaner to clean the back wall too (really don't like algae on the windows.. ).

Black provides the best contrast.

I am going to try and make a shadow box background for my tanks. I am experimenting on the 75 gallon first. It will look something like this:

Since I didn't do it before I set my tank up....and it's too close to the wall to do now, I bought some flat black poster board from Hobby Lobby and cut to fit. It's held in place with some Scotch tape at the corners. Works well for me.

Haha, as they said in ShawShank Redemption, “we’er all innocent in here.”

To submit to a background or not. How did you answer this question. And why and what color.

Blue background but I kind of wish I had gone with black instead.

Rustoleum flat black rolled twice with templates over the holes

I was somewhat debating which one to choose ...so I decided to go light blue on quarantine tank and black on display....[emoji16][emoji106]

I don't want a background so I do not have one.
