Hello, I am super new to the hobby and excited to be here. I do have a question about background for the saltwater aquarium. I've seen people painting them black. Is this a good color to paint or would you recommend blue ? Thanks for the help and I look forward to all the information this site provides.

welcome aboard the r2r board. hello from PA!

color is personal preference. black does help make your aquascape and corals pop out more due to the black/negative background. blue, (IMHO), seems more like something that was just introduced in mass for wholesalers and stores like petco/petsmart/etc

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
