Is there a reason you went with black over blue?

I just like the black... I find with alot tanks with blue, it washes out the natural colors of the rock, coral and fish... Black I feel helps to make those colors POP. Just the way I see it.

Doug brings up a valid point, if using a backdrop (black or blue), make sure to use something like Duct tape to use on the top edge of the tank with the backdrop. This way any water splashed will splash down the back of the backdrop, not between the backdrop and glass.

Believe me I know, and had to do this, as I can't clean the back of my glass.
