Painted back glass question

[Element_chef]

Hey everyone just joined the site will fill out my bio In a few... but I have a question for you all. I will be in the process of transferring to a bigger tank and want to paint the back white on this one... has anyone tried it before and if so do you have any regrets??? My only concern to painting it white would be maybe an increase in algae. Let me know thanks in advance!!!

I haven't done white but mine is light blue. Wish I did black, even though its only a little algae you wouldnt see it at all plus the bright corals would contrast great. Pictures of my blue tang don't come out well against the background but unless you have a fish thats mostly white I'd say you're okay for pics lol

Do you think Corals would pop against a white back ground??? right now I have black glass with black sand. And in this new tank I wanna do white 1st And canopy and white back with black sand I think it would look sweet but have a few doubts about it

I'm not sure, but I do think it would be cool! Just get dirty quickly
