slappers Posted September 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 no not really, waiting on table to put it on shouldnt be to far away whats a good colour for the back and sides of the tank black blue green ???? it will be going in a wall when the table comes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pies Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Personal preference, between BLACK or BLUE. the ocean isn't green, or if it is, it shouldn't be. My first tank was blue, my 2nd black, for my 3rd I went back to blue, which is my preference. Unless your planing on keeping it clean (like chimera) it will overgrow with algae in 6 months and never know anyway. Pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slappers Posted September 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 ok i will go hmmm black of to bunnings tomorrow to get some spray cans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misnoma Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 I went blue, just stuck tank backing paper on the back. means you can change your mind later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimera Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 blue gets my vote, but whatever colour only makes sense if you're willing to scrape the coralline off the back of the tank. i just did again the other night - and my tanks never looked better :lol: but seriously, aesthetically it does make a difference, shows the aquascaping off better rather than looking all washed out,... if you can excuse the pun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 I went a very dark green and I like it natural looking You can't see it in my photos for the hair algae but since I did a clean up looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianemone Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 i think the look i like most is see through on both sides. but for in wall it depends on the aquascape on whether blue or black looks better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
