Hi
I’m stripping down and changing my current tank and looking for advice on background colour.
The tank is a 200L cube, which will have.
Ada aqua soil (the dark colour near black)
I hope to carpet with Eleocharis Acicularis 'Mini'
The back corner will be built up with granite rocks and a large spider wood coming out
Off this spider wood there will be susswassertang
Broken up with anubias around the base of the wood and maybe something behind it also
Co 2 with a FE
External filtration
Led lighting (not massive expensive powered, but good enough)
Stock will be wild green tetras and some neo Shrimp.
Now back to the background. I have used black background with dark substrate before but it did see, a bit dark but then it wasn’t heavy planted, I’ve used med-dark blue and did like that. The wall behind is currently off white and at the moment that looks good but the wall is marked a bit so prob would be better to paint the want even a off white.
So options are
Black paint
Blue paint (med/darkish blue)
White/off white paint
Or leave as is
Any advice would be appreciated
Thank you
