How can I cover up a blue background

[waytoodeep03]

I bought a used 60" long acrylic that the background is made of blue acrylic . I hate the look of the blue so what can I put in the tank to take the focus off the blue? Are there any backgrounds that are made to go inside the tank?

Or better yet do you have any examples of pictures that people who have blue background tanks did to make their tank look better?

Isn't the background removable?

There are many, many DIY projects out there as well (most require a fresh tank to start though):

I would love to make a moss background. People find a plastic mesh and make a carpet of java moss in it. It takes a while to grow in but the ones I have seen in the planted forum look nice.

Ricca would also serve this nicely as well.

This DIY background sounds like a fun way to spend my spring break.

Yeah! Make a DIY 3D background. That would cover it up real nice.

I bought a background for my tank, but it can go inside aswell. It is a shiny sheet thing. It has two sides so you can pick the side you want to use.

plant the tank. the blue will look great and make the plants pop.

Pretty much any lfs or chain pet store sells this by the foot.
