Yeah just buy the backgrounds from the fish stores. I like my blue blackground, but its backside is black. So if I ever wanted to flip it over for a change it wouldn't be hard.
I think I have tried all ways possible at least once...like Limo window tint, LFS off the shelf stuff, hanging material on the tank, on the wall behind the tank etc...n4red;2929537; said:
The easiest most durable way I have found, is to PAINT the back of the tank use a roller and if you are careful you can do it when you have fish present...
I have heard of a Paper Mache~ with black paper and diluted elmers glue...but I have yet to try that method...
I just go to the fabric store and buy black felt. I cut it to the size of the tank and then I get some sticky sided velcro and put one side on the tank frame. The other side I stick on to the the felt and the put a regualar office staple through the felt and the side of velcro on the felt. This is great because if I decide I want another color its like a five minute change with fish in the tank.
