Blue or Black Background

This one look's nice too...I hope the picture was much clearer.

for the black background, is everyone painting the tanks or just using the normal picture type black background and taping it to the tank?

painting it would probably be best..

i however, use a weed blocking membrane material.. its water proof!

I like black best too. It contrasts well with everything. Blue often looks rather artificial.

I have 4 black backgrounds and 1 light blue one, the light blue one takes less powerful lights to brighten the tank, but the black one looks better with proper lighting. The blue tank is one I bought that someone had previously painted and it looks like they used a brush to paint it on, silly I know, so i havent tried to scrape it all off. Black gets my vote, but you cant go wrong with either. Just stay away from light blue and those horrid flowered/planted ones. If you do decide to paint it use latex spraypaint.
