I have a black one on my 55 i like it a lot.

I think black but some one might have a different opinoin.

I am setting up a 210g and have decided to go with a black background. A local restaurant has a tank with the black and the fish really do pop, these are bright colored goldfish so it really has an impact. I figure my Midas and silver dollars will really stand out with the black background. My pleco and paratheraps fenestratus will probably disappear.

where can i find black adhesive vinyl and is it expensive? I've been wanting to paint my 240 black for a while now, but dont have the time/space/manpower to do it. Also didnt want to settle for a black picture background.
