Hey guys, Please help me decide wether to continue with my blue paint back ground or scrape it off and leave it "el naturelle", thanks

I would say leave it natural just to argue the point but I cant, cause the blue looks great. I may do it myself now

I bought one of those dual sided black/blue aquarium wallpaper things that any generic pet store sells. Initially it was black, but there's nothing better than that blue.

I say paint it!! I think all tanks should have the back wall painted. i like the shade of blue you have picked out. I'm not a fan of the lighter blue that a lot of people use, especially fish stores. Personally, I prefer a black background. As much as I understand the idea behind the blue background looking more natural I don't like how the blue takes away from the purple coralline and the blue fish. So I opt for black which I think makes all the colors jump right out, and it hides overflow boxes really well.
