+1 to this.

I've also used the privacy window tint for home applications found @ home depot.

If I could aford a 3d background thats is what I would have. I have had the stick on backgrounds but they start to peal and thats just ugly. I never painted the back but I have had to clean the paint off the back. that sucked. so I have no background at all and I kinda like it that way...

3d if I know i am going to stay with that size of tank
If not no cause are really expensive if you don't know how to diy one.

I use black. And baby blue back grounds

Im in the process of doing a 125 tropheus tank. And my plans are to do one of those intank backgrounds that have the rock look. I think itll turn out pretty cool

TexSun i plan on going with what you mention privacy glass window tint but i don't think they have that blue we all like?

i don't want it to look transparent

any ideas

Some thing that iv done on a few of my tanks is to buy a gallon of paint and just roll it on the back. You get a much thicker coat and you can do it indoors with no mist like youd have with a spray can. That and you got paint for future projects as well. A lil tape here n there , few coats and it looks great.

Painted or color backed acrylic tanks. I'm scurred of the crap that can build up behind 3d backgrounds. Not for me

[cu0ngsayz]

Paint black or blue or just cough up around 450 for a legit 3D that you don't have to wait 3 months before you can add fish

What's the blue called ?

[mistahoo]

I would think blue paint would be called blue paint? Am I missing something here?

Re: Best background for tank ? Trophs petro

Yeah but is it Caribbean Blue or Blue Ocean

There's different kinds of blue
