How to get these kind of reef colors?

My glass is clear... Wish I would've had the opportunity to paint it before I placed it... To late now...

If you wanted your tank blue on the back . Just simply put a blue background taped at the edges . If you do a good job of it it will look good . And some white construction paper taped in place underneath. I personally like putting a mirror cut to size as a background. But aggressive fish shadow box themselves. I had a 6 line wrasse shadow box for a few years. What a stupid bully he was . I was relieved when I found him dried on the floor on day .

I saw a post on facebook of someones reef tank
I love the look of a white tank (over a blue tank) with heavy coral color pop

It looks like this chap is using Kessils, but does anyone know how to achieve this kind of look?

That's a beautiful tank for sure!

I taped black poster board to the back of the aquarium after it was in place, as well as one end that was getting light from one window. Looks awesome and I can change it any time I want without scraping paint off first.

Ive started to notice that when you have the right balance of white with your blues, the tank looks white but the corals have nice colours. Almost like AB+ with a touch more white.

A lot of this has to do with what type of camera they have. I have a Nikon D750 and could make any color look twice as good as in person

I think it’s a beautiful tank! Does the tank have a white background or just clear glass with the wall behind it? I will say, maintaining the back glass is an extra chore, and worthwhile if you like the depth Of field it offers. Many hobbyist stick an encrusting corals on it and let in grow over. Corraline algae sometimes the telltale sign a tank is doing well, Can also be challenging to keep off glass. Magnets don’t always work.
