cheap black tank background?

[Death03]

Horrible hobby if you are broke. Just sayin

If you're a college student you don't really have much money

The paint can probably be removed with some chemical or a Brillo pad but it's the background so why remove it?....Plasti dip is like a spray paint but you can peel it right off.

I'll try this plastidip thingy. If it's something I can afford lol

Spray paint is pretty cheap and the easiest imo. Other backgrounds are fine but I've found a pain if it comes into contact with water.

I paint sheets of styrofoam insulation black, and duct tape them to the back, sides and bottom of tanks.
Beside providing a removable color panel, helps hold the temp steady, winters get cold here.

PetSmart has plain black backrounds I think I paid like 4 bucks for a 4ft by 26" piece

If the tank is glass it is very easy to remove paint with a razor blade

I use a black 55 gallon drum liner trash bag for one of my tanks. I cut the edges off so that it's over 6 ft long. I use black styrofoam sheets from the dollar store on a few small tanks. I also got some black backgrounds from the LFS.

If I can find black background here in my lfs that will do, but if I can't i will go with some of your suggestions. Thanks guys! these website really help me a lot in this hobby
