I posted this in the aquascaping section and didn’t get any replies, so I’m reposting this here:
I'm debating whether to keep a black background on my planted aquarium or completely remove it (or white/frosted).
The black background provides a nice contrast but also makes the tank look busier (?) and more 'closed in', whereas a clear/white background adds a bit more depth, but it looks a little empty + the branches look 'leggy' - probably filling in the back with more stem plants could help.
A lot of people prefer black backgrounds, but all most aquascapes I've seen online have bright or clear backgrounds.
Any opinions or suggestions would be highly appreciated.
