What color wall behind the aquarium would accent the tank? It's currently white.

Well thanks, my wife passed away 8 months ago. I didn't know if a darker color vs. white would show off the tank better. The back of the tank comes with a black background, which makes me think it's that way for a reason. Here's a

oh no, so sorry to hear man.

I have seen some nice wall paper behind tanks some better than others.
if you paint are you going to move the tank or paint around it?

maybe a darker color would look good there. or maybe some reclaimed wood paneling?

nice tank BTW!

I would paint around it. The idea is to attract your eyes less to the wall and more towards the tank. A dark color probably.

So sorry about your loss, and no advice here for the wall.

Just here to say that looks like an unsafe place for the tank, right at the bottom of the stairs don’t slip and fall into the tank!

that would do it. maybe a dark grey/green or something?
get some color swatches and tape them to the wall and leave there for a a bit to see how you like it.
