Why kind of background do you use?

What kind of background do you use on your aquarium? Black? Blue? None? Sea scape?

Back is wrapped in black vinyl. Choice was blue or white also but went with black just because I wanted something to provide some contrast.

I paint all my tanks either black or dark blue.

I have a sea scape background. I like it, but don’t love it. It is a little too bright blue for me. I also don’t clean my back glass, so it has other colors and things going on too. I am probably going to change to black - someday.

green star polyp coral. Here is a picture of @Lasse tank where he used GSP on the back wall. In addition to locking up NO3 and PO4, thus being part of the filtration, it provides a soft lushness to the eye.

It's an out of the box approach to the back wall.

I use black plasti-dip incase I want to ever peel it off and paint it some other color or just sell it.

I have a black acrylic background that is able to be removed. It has small panels on the the top and bottom. It allows a larger panel to slide behind the two panels securing it. Here is a thread on it...

Removable Background

Earlier a thread was started about backgrounds. @revhtree asked me to post some pics of mine. Sorry they are not the best but you get the idea. Ask away...
