I prefer to use plain black backgrounds regardless of the substrate.

Black is good and i have it on all my tanks but make sure there isnt any splasing or the odd drip because against a black background you will notice watermarks much more. Its always easier when you have access to the back of the tank.

Fantastic, but oh so expensive. I am going for the black paint on my new tank.

3d background = probably £40 to well over £200 depending on size of tank, ( seeing as my new tank is a 400litre 5ft long jobbie I would not see much change from £250).

or

Tin of gloss black paint& a paintbrush = less than a fiver.
