What Color should I paint the canopy?

[TheMillennialReefer]

Hey all!

So we move into our new house and I’m working on a 220 peninsula build. I have some free time this weekend so I’m going to build the canopy. Originally I wasn’t going to paint the canopy but we are building the house and I was able to put a power outlet in the ceiling so I’m mounting the canopy to the ceiling leaving a 12” gap between the tank and the ceiling.

My question is what color should I paint the inside of the canopy? Black to help with absorbing lights scattering? Or white to help the lights with scattering? Also what type of paint/epoxy would be best?

Thanks in advanced!

White is the best and epoxy because flaking paint in the tank isnt good. White of course not black.

I have a 240G peninsula and painted the canopy interior white. Looks great
