After

I think it was a good move , the first one was ok , a little busy looking .
The black makes the plants look better , more defined looking , very nice ....

Much, much better.. and a darker substrate maybe.

Wow!! It amazing how a simple background change can make a tank look ten times better!!
Nice move

I like the look of the black background...what did you use?

i like the black, we are changing ours around soon, thinking of dark blue or black background with white sand, few more nice plants, bog wood (the good stuff thats like 2 colours), air stone... will upload pics when we have done it... we have only had the tank a month or 2.... will make the next set of pics a lot smaller than in my previous post

I think the black and blue looks brilliant!

Blue and black are the best aqua backgrounds

The black looks a lot better. I also like the look of the sand as it is despite someone suggesting a darker substrate. I switched from sand to gravel a month or so ago now and my plants look a LOT better but the main reason was because the sand was too hard to keep clean with having to get all the rubbish from between the plants.

What a difference!!! It looks amazing with the black. The old one just looked odd.

 

[debiasir]

imo much better

first wasnice dont get me wrong but black shows off the plants in the tank more

 

[houndour]

that looks much better. I also like the sand substrate you have...but I'm just a fan of sand.

I too also think it was a good move didn't really like the first background.

 

[pseud]

I approve

 

[JackDemp528]

Thanks EVERYONE . I really love the contact the black gives. I think I need one or two red plants to break up the green a little bit?

MegTheFish, I only used the backgrounds you can get for the LFS. It's like a thin plastic sheet, black on one side and blue on the other.
