A month or so ago I started a thread about foregrounds and raised the question about bare foregrounds. The focus of this discussion will be on the various ways of handling the background. This time I am not going to put forth any opinion of my own, and this is not a question of which is better, but simply the different approaches to the background, (all relating to plants)
The solid wall of plants
The partially open background
The fully open background
The solid wall approach is basically just that, the entire back of the tank is covered in plants, whether it be a straight line, terraced multi leveled, or cascading plants of different heights.
The partially open background when down right has a strong visual impact. Look at my examples and see if you agree.
The fully open background uses plants with a very low profile which puts a lot of emphasis on the foreground.
Here are some examples:

Partially open
Fully open
