Just go out to a petstore and get some aquarium safe silicone, otherwise go to home depot and get yourself a large tube of it. Just lay a nice layer on the back of the tank and let it sit on the side you put the silicone, and simply throw the gravel, rocks, or whatever it is you want to stay to the back of the tank. Depending on how large the item is, you might need to add more silicone. Good luck!

If you got silicone from the pet store it would be an expensive project. Go to your local depot and pick up a couple of tubes of GE Silicone 1 with out the bio additive. make sure you scrub the rocks but I dont know how good it will hold it. Ive been wanting to try to do slate on my background but havent tried yet.
