Not a lot of activity here so I will start one off!

What does everyone do with your back glass?

Coralline, scrape, can you even see the back?

I always check and see if anyone is active here!

I sprayed the back glass with Plasti-Dip (removable spray rubber) an will let coraline grow on the back.

I have been meaning to ask you how that worked out for you. I just have the background roll taped behind mine and I don't really like it. But I'm not sure if I could paint mine because I only have a few inches clearance between the tank and wall.

I spray mine with black spray paint (outside glass of course) and always scrape. I think it looks a lot cleaner without the coralline!

The Plasti dip worked great. Painted it before I moved it inside obviously. The good thing about that is if I ever want to get rid of it I can just peel it off!

I change my mind all the time, lol, so i switch between pieces of fabric or dollar store table cloths taped to the back of the tank. Quick and easy to change colors that way! I scrape the sides and front. I used to scrape the back but got tired of hitting corals. Currently i superglued a couple pieces of green star polyps to the back glass hoping it will cover it.
