Kogut Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Hey everyone. Lately, I've been thinking about adding a background to my 20L. I've gotten mixed opinions about the color, though. I can't decide if I'd like a blue or a black color more... : Soooo... This is where you come in! Posted a pick of my tank down there so you can see for yourself. Only difference now is that chaeto has become overgrown due to the lack of a skimmer. :| Pick a color and let me know why. Thx! Link to comment
bobioden Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 I second the dark blue Link to comment

Travis Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 BLUE!!!, just look at my tank Link to comment
Withers Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Going black will help you hide your powerheads. Besides, if you buy one of those premade backrounds, they're always black on one side and blue on the other Link to comment
Kogut Posted February 5, 2005 Author Share Posted February 5, 2005 Petco has the pre-made ones still, right? Haven't put a background on a tank since my old FW tank 6 years ago. Haha. Link to comment
Travis Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 lol, they should still have them. Link to comment
Underwater Wonder Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Blue...the corals show up nice Link to comment
Sushi Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 either black or dark blue, both would make ur tank look 110% better! Link to comment
BKtomodachi Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 BLACK, you dont want people noticing what a nice shade of blue the background is, and you never notice black! Go black, man, epspecially with colorful/fluorescent corals. Link to comment
Travis Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I've had black on all of my tanks except my 20 long. I definantly like the blue better. Link to comment
chrissreef Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 MIRROR! makes the tank look waaay bigger! You and your fish dont really notice themselves. Buy a mirror at a local glass dealer for cheap or put a houshold mirror on b4 so you can see what it looks like. Link to comment
Angel Higuera Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Light blue-somthing bright-bring the life out! Link to comment
