Blue background?

I used to, but it's off now! I switched to a clear and black colored backs, didn't like the look of the blue. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/wink.gif but I think it boils down to personal preference. No pics of the blue backgrounds-sorry!

 

lol. I don't know maybe it'll look better for you... I've always thought a black background with a bluer light makes for great 'depth' if you know what I mean...

Here's a picture off a quick google search. can't tell if its a blue background vs a black with blue light... see if you like it.

I guess it's personal choice. My 210 is blue and i wish it was black. I also have a 120 and i like the black way better. One thing i noticed is that coraline algae tends to grow better on the black backround better than blue. I would go with black if doing it again.

 

Id do black. Use a flat black. Blue looks cheesey in my opinion. But good luck anyways.

 

Dark blue wouldnt be bad probly. But the bright blue i dont like.

 

My first tank had a blue background and I will say that black looks better. As long as the previous paint was latex based you should be able to scrape it off without too much trouble.
