i want to put a background on this tank and i read that people have used plastic or gift wrapping as a cheap alternative. has anyone had experience with this and if so can u post pics? im probably going to pick up the wrapping at walmart, but if u noe of a better place please tell me. heres a pic of the tank now, its a pretty sad sight. i need to get a solid black/blue background use sand as substrate and just use a COUPLE river rocks in there for aquascaping. any comments are appreciated. 
Infact my Dempsey breeding tank has Red transparent gift wrap on it right now.. SOrry i thought i posted a pic in the section where i have a breeding thread.. But i obviously haven't taken one so give me a bit and i'll post one...
