I tried black with play sand and it was too dark for my liking so I switched it to blue back with white sand. I like it a lot better. Looks brighter.

All you have to do is paint the outside of the back of the tank with paint i just got some acrylic paint and rolled it on the back
As far as colors for the back glass, I have had them all over the years, and I only like black, especially for taking photos.
Here's blue, looks unnatural to me
now, same species of fish with a black background
Although sometimes black(ish) fish disappear with a black background, at times it makes for an even more dramatic effect
and for me, seeing a normal color wall, is not an option
same fish as above, below, with a piece of styrofoam insulation painted black works well, and helps to insulate against temp swings

I have one with a natural picture background. The rest are see-thru.
I've never had a painted background(blue, black, etc...)
