Please Post Your Tank Pictures with Blue or Black Backgrounds
Hey There!
I just can't decide if I want my tank to have a blue or a black background, I am going to be setting up soon, and I dont want to have to change it after its full. Any pictures would be so so so appreciated Thanks you so much! |

Here is mine. I have Black. I do like the blue though. If I could do it all again I would pick blue.

What I use as a backdrop and I LOVE it is I have a sheet of black velvet drapred over the back of the tank.
Since its velvet it doesn't reflect light so much and gives a nice even "deep" look. Also since its draped and not painted I can get back there to clean any water drips easily, or use a magnetic aquarium cleaner thingy without damaging paint. I was originaly using the sheet as a backdrop for some of my photography and when I setup the tank I needed something to both block out light from a window (behind the top 15% of my tank) and give the tank a nice asthetic. Turns out my little improvisation has worked perfectly and I now plan on keeping it there. Its folded over double to keep the window light out, which it does fine. I'd post a picture but we have some "cheesey" fake corals in the tank right now to give the inhabitants some shelter before we add in the live rock. I'm fairly insecure about it and I think its ugly. So I don't really want to show off the tank untill I at least get the real rock in it and the fake stuff out. |
