Thought I would mention that I started making my own aquarium backrounds by using butcher paper and all my old magazine pictures and it is so much neater than buying the store bought sheets. This way my tanks have my own personalization. Collage work is cheap, easy and looks more interesting.

You can also enlist the help of your children.....Kids love art projects and will consider it great fun !
Any pics? Sounds pretty sweet! I have some sort of really awesome photo printer. Not sure the type. But its huge! Like 2' wide by like 2' high. And I have on multiple occasions made diy aquarium things out of this. I print high quality wallpapers off of it. On thick photo paper as well, so it doesn't rip easily. You can also try this if you'd like. Also fun for the kids as they can choose nearly any background they can think of
