Hi All
Here is my DIY cabinet and custom tank to fit my alcove. I am trying to decide if I should fit a black background or leave it as is. The walls behind and on the right are grey and a wallpaper pattern on the left. The tank will be planted and will have a black substrate. I'm in two minds as I think that by having black around the tank will make the plants and fish 'pop', but leaving it open may look more natural? (wallpaper pattern aside!)
Option 1. Leave it as is
Option 2. Fit black background to back face only.
Option 3. Fit black background to back, right and half of left side (up to masking tape)
I'm thinking 1 or 3. Need some other input. What do you reckon?
Thanks
Paul
