Opinions on back of the tank Painting or Background

Like mentioned above, I prefer the purple coralline look on the back of my glass.

sampsonndelila was joking with ya. fortunatly he works behind me

not a good idea - acrylic doesnt bond well to silicone, so you could not build a tank with glass and acrylic. you could cut a piece of black acrylic to fit inside on the back and silicone it to back (since it will not be structural, it should hold.

Justin, unfortunately does have a unique view point to my humor because of our proxmity. He is privy to the sound bites as well. We sit and laugh about the responses I type to him because I could turn around and say it. It is more fun to type it. I was just trying to tell him, tank paint, color, type otherwise is mainly personal preference. As far as I know the only advantage is aesthetic. We don’t normally like to see the plumbing through the tank. Although I saw some really cool plumbing on the tank tour I would not really mind showing in my tank... lol. Some of my sarcasm is lost in the medium here. I think I am hilarious. I was suggesting the replacement of back glass, because it’s funny, he probably thought of that idea already.
