Backgrounds?

[charles]

What does everyone think of backgrounds? and what do you use?

I'm weighing it up at the moment. Think I might use a poster of a wave about to break (something different) from a surfing mag.

That sounds pretty cool and different, ive just gone with the standard plant and rock background. Go on, be different! I might do a colourful painting and change mine now!

i use plain backgrounds of either blue or black, the odd tank i might use the planted backgrounds, sometimes it just looks too busy for me though

For my fish I used to use a giant cat harharhar!
I cheat and print out stuff for my guys and rotate it or use old magazine pictures of sea life or jungles.rainforests and whatnot. I hate paying for backgrounds.

Big black waste bags are good too..

You can also make a background boks with twigs and mos and such with a little light placed above. this boks can then be placed behind the aquarium and makes a 3D illusion...
