Black or Blue

[rcervel]

What color background to you guys thinks works best? Black or blue? I think the blue seems more natural. I currently have black on my 29gal reef. Thinking of switching to blue.

Having used both, i would only go with black now as i feel it makes the tanks inhabitants pop out more and i think the tank as a whole is brighter...

I've had black, love the black because it hides everything...overflow, spigots from the overflow, vortechs on the back, matches the tank stand and trim...also most light fixtures are black.

I've tried both, and prefer black.

Black all the way. I had black on my 29G for many years and got an itch to put blue on my new tank.. hated it and switched to black as quick as I could.

I'd go with black, it hides everything, and makes your fish tank's colors really come out.

Definitely black

personally i think black for FW and blue for SW. for some reason, the blue is more 'oceany', lol, to me for SW.
