hey, jst wanted to figure out what you guys all prefer in terms of a background.

I see a clear tank and I want to paint it black... no colours anymore, I want them to turn black...

For me, the common blue looks far too staged. It swallows colours and gives poor contrast. Not what I like when keeping brightly-coloured stuff!

You need a coraline answer to this pole... Mine was black but danred if you could tell that now with all the coraline.

Mine has black window tint on the back and over the overflow area on the side.

I voted black, because that's what my last tank had, however, I would rather have a very dark blue, than stark black. Have a gradient from black on the bottom to dark blue on the top would be best, IMO.
