"This tank is wonderful, the acrylic is a great improvement over a glass aquarium, lighter weight, no side seams, nice looking, etc.
I bought the version with the blue backing mostly because it was cheaper than black or clear and I'm really glad I did. Really, really like the color! I've had aquariums with clear backings before and didn't like seeing the wall through them.
Like many others, I wish there was a food slot and end up feeding them through the opening in the back which while isn't 100% ideal, seems to work just fine."
