Aquarium Advice Freak
Your aquascape is absolutely stunning! I'm usually an advocate for black, but I think a darker blue would be really nice in your aquarium, too. More like a natural scene, perhaps.
I have found that a black shiny plastic background looks TOO black so would opt for dark blue. But if you are painting it I would use a Matt black (like black board paint). It gives a natural looking black - if that doesn't sound a bit nutty
I like black too, because I think it really makes the plants pop.
I have been looking again at my black background and with the lighting and bubbles etc it doesn't really look black at all. View attachment 226816
