Howdy,
if you'd like to prepare a real cool background, then do this: Get paper/cardboard the size of the back of your tank. Spray construction foam (polyurethane) on it, let cure. This way, you create a 3D background. Depending on how artsy you are, sculpturing tree branches/roots should not be too diffcult. Paint with oil-based paint and let the colors flow into each other. Use brown and green, but also bright yellow (sparingly). It'll look awesome. I do that for all of my tanks. It looks real natural.
