Poll: Aquarium backgrounds for reef tank

[Sugar Magnolia]

You can scrape the back if you leave room with the rockwork. And if you aren't lazy like me. I like the coraline.

I went with a deep purple and love it, although the coraline is taking over now.

Sethjamto - any pics? Eggplant purple is my favorite color. Would love to see it.

I was leaning toward black before the poll I think this seals it, people with glass tanks did you use latex paint so you could scrape it off?

 

[Mr. Demeanor]

Mine is blue with matching blue pained walls around the tank. Make it look bigger

My back is painted black, however inside of the glass is pink on left and rigt and deep purple in the middle. So it doesn't matter what the outside is.

In wall tank with a dark blue/gray background attached about 7 inches from the back glass. This gives an impression of depth.

On a deep tank, a properly built foam background is stunning. It takes a lot to make it really work though. I paint mine black.

Blue the only way to go. It looks more natural especially if you have the right blue color. Have a great day!
