Backgrounds

What background do you prefer on your tanks?

I have always prefered black for some reason, mainly cos it makes the type of fish i have stand out more.

I paint the back of mine a few days previous to the setup.

I like a dark blue background.

It depends on the colour of your fish. If you have bright fish a black background would make them stand out more. If you have darker fish then you would probably have a lighter background.

I used on my very first aquarium a poster back ground with loads of plants on, but with my new tnak iv gone for a jewel aquarium 3d back ground has added a nice effect to it and really does look like i have rocks on the back of my tank although most of my plants are covering it up but the bits you can see through do look really good.

Depending on the set up black is my general favourite. Though I would love to have a 3D background by made by someone like Back to Nature.

Taken from Back to Natures website, they can do some good ones.

This one looks like someone took a chunk out of a lake. (Had wrong picture before)

Wow, those neos are awsome looking with a bunch of them in the tank.

I have a poster on the back of my FW and a blue on my SW tank. Have to say the 3Ds look very nice, very realistic.

Both of my acrylic tanks were made with black backs and I use a black background on my glass tank.

I have black on my turtle, shelly and rams tanks, dark blue on my salt water, and a picture of stacked stones in the south/central american cichlid tank.

Those Back to Nature backgrounds are absolutely stunning.


I really wish i'd have researched better before filling me tank, i'd certainly have gone for one of those Jewel 3d backgrounds.
But now the tanks full there's not much of a chance


Next time though

The textured backgrounds really make a difference to the appearance of a tank.

Couldn't find a link to any supplier that worked, what's the damage?
