generally, most people do solid black, or blue, i like the black better, but its up to you, most people stay away from the picture backgrounds, after some time, your back glass will be covered with coraline algae anyway.

Lmao, my mom uses this really ugly coral pattern on hers. Kind of a waste of 10 bucks though, the multiple types of algae and live rock cover it up...
Other than that I don't use backgrounds on my tanks, algae, walls, etc. do a good enough job  .

I bought the background for about $6 which covers my 55g tank. It has a blue and a black. Personally I like the blue, but since it has two sides, it's your choice. Since the coraline will cover it anyways, its not a big deal. I just wanted to hide the cables in the back of my tank.
