Preferred method of covering back of tank?

[d2mini]

What is your preferred method and why?
Paper?
Paint?
Just let it get covered in algae?
Something else?

I was thinking of taking the time to paint mine. Black. Would you just use regular acrylic?

Iv seen some really cool paint jobs... Starting with a lighter blue and getting a little darker... Ex...

This guy went for a 'edge of the reef' look. I like it a lot!

i have mine painted black, put eventually itll get covered in coraline, but for now i like looking at the black as opposed to blue or my wall

Black spray paint.

Mine is blue cling on stuff(like window tint) Wish it were black now. I do like the blending of blue and black a lot, although I havent ever seen it in person.

I just leave mine alone. I figure it will be covered in coraline in a couple years. However, if I was going to paint it, it would be black spray paint.

My tank is where you can see it from both sides so mine has coraline growing but I'm considering scraping it off.

I have Black tank cover on the back but my new tank I'm going to spray paint it black

 

[daugherty]

i am going to use black latex when i am not to lazy anymore just because in can be cut off with a razor blade if it needs to come off someday

 

[stagofdoom]

I dont have anything on it. Its in front of a white wall though. I kinda like it not having a back
