I know this sounds like a simple fix, but I have no idea which color background to get. I really like the black because it makes everything stand out, but the blue gives it a more tropical feel. Any reason why I should pick 1 over the other?
I have done blue and black and a couple different colors of blue. I like them all for different reasons. As the others have said it is a personal preference.
I had blue at first and it was overpowering! (IMO) I flipped it to black and I like it much better, you notice everything in the tank more....not the wall. Now my coraline is starting to take off so I like that!
I have noticed that fish corals and plants stand out much better against a black background rather than blue. Blue does make for a nice "infinity" look but that's about it.
