I've been refraining on posting on this thread coz at first thought i couldnt imagine how an orange color would work???

But after hearing some of the suggestions here, it seems maybe if it were like a gradient of dark orange colors, you could pull off a almost sunset background feel???

Since i've seen people do similar things with a light box and blue backgrounds...

Another member framcosco had painted the bottom of his pleco tank orange. It look really nice

Not my tank, but ive seen it in the flesh. I personally wouldnt have it, but it doesnt look too bad.

^ that actually doesnt look too bad, but agree wouldnt do it myself due to the fact i'd probably get sick of looking at that sort of color background real quick...

Got a free 75g already had a yellow painted background. I hate it but will not scrape it off some idiot tried to drill the upper left corner and its tempered glass. Has held water for 7 years now and I dont know if that paint is all thats stopping it from explodeing. ( I did fill the partial hole with a ridiculous abount of silicone)

Burned orange, heavy Malaysian driftwood for darker tones with beige sand. Color wise I think those colors wood match. Perhaps black substrate, but something I like with off white and orange. It's like the Versace of fish tanks.

Either way, think of how sharp it would look with some pinoy angels,German blue rams, or electric blue jack demseys or acaras. Goldfish keepers often paint the background blue to make the orange in the goldfish or koi to pop out.
