DIY Aquarium Background

[fijiwigi]

Wondering if anybody has any suggestions for an inexpensive aquarium background. I was thinking of just buying the aquarium paper to tape to the back of the tank. Considering if I want to invest the time into carving styrofoam into a rock sculpture (questioning if I have the patience) Any general thoughts or ideas?

I just taped a $5 wallpaper to my 40b Jack Dempsey tank. 15 mins and I was done

No carving involved.

Here's how they look in his tanks.

Self stick limo tint available at Wal-Mart. 5%. There's also a 2.5% but it's not self stick and will be somewhat more permanent. Wet it with water and soap solution, slide it on, squegee it out. Inexpensive, quick, easy, removable.

I actually used this idea. Worked great thank you.

Glad it worked for you. I had to remove mine, spin the aquarium around and reapply so it's not as reflective as it once was. Still debating on whether I want to buy more and do it again. It does make a nice background so that fish, plants, and decor stand out.
