African Cichlid Tank - Background Thoughts?

[Clayborg]

I have recently done a change in set up, changing my gravel to sand etc, in my 90 gallon mostly Malawi tank. I am now mulling over what to do with the background. The first photograph was what was previously in my tank (kind of cheesy plant background). The second picture is after the background was removed. I am partial to concealing the tubes/hoses etc as much as possible but also want something aesthetically pleasing.

Thoughts?

either a solid black or dark royal blue would look great. really make the sand and fish pop out. sometimes the simplest thing makes the biggest effect.

I was leaning towards black so that is probably what I will go with. Thank you for your thoughts.

It is reversable backing from Rogers. Black on one side, royal blue on the other.
