Looking for some design ideas! What color wall do you think looks best behind your aquarium? Classic white? A deed ocean blue? Post some photos if you have any showing tank and wall. TIA

Honestly no one cares what the wall color is. They are to busy looking at the tank. My walls are all neutral tan FWIW.

I always let my back wall cover over in coralline, then I start gluing frags onto it.

I care because the tank is in our family room and part of the decor of the room. We are debating painting the wall an accent color instead of a light neutral color but I wasn't sure how that would look.

I meant the wall behind the aquarium Inside the aquarium I've always been partial to black.

Doesn't matter, no one will notice the wall behind the tank.

Whatever color or colors the wife wants. In my case, that means two-tone with a chair rail separating the two shades of blue. Lighter on top.

Always paint the back of the tank black, so I don't have to worry about the wall color. Corals really pop against a black background.

I found when picking colors, it’s best to bring the paint sample chips home, and look at them in the bluish light of the tank. I made the mistake of painting a wall in the tank room yellow, which took on a nauseating green color with the tank lights. That safest bet is in the blue-green spectrum.
