What Background Color Should I Use?

if you go dark enough green it would look almost black, but suit the wood trim better IMHO

That sounds ewwy to me haha..

and I ran out of black I had just enough left to make my 10g and 2.5g black

Just paint the back exterior of the tank with some black paint.

Maybe, I'm going to go somewhere a bring back a few colors to see what looks the best.

I can't get behind it easily to paint it.. :\

And that slate is neat looking but I don't want to get complicated with this lol

Black. If you have a black garbage bag, tape it to the back for a couple of days to see what you think. Once you go black, you'll never turn back.

I have one of those backgrounds with a picture of real plants on it in my smaller tank. Before I set up my larger tank a while back I took the time to paint the back black. Wouldn't ya know... never want anything different than that now.
