The title says it all. I want to put black back grounds for my 50 gallon tank. In my tank there is some fish and some plants. What do I have to do to paint it?
What kind of paint do I need? If you know what I have to use, can you give me the name and a photo to that paint?

Plasti-dip is a good paint to use. If you ever want to change it, it is easily removable. It is a rubber based paint, so just peels off. I recommend the brush/roll on type. It does come in a spray can too. Empty the tank as much as possible and turn it a round(to get access to the back).
Tape up the side and top of the tank and simply use a sponge roller to put it on.
 
Wish I'd done plastidip before I put water in my tank. Stuck with the stick on black vinyl backing...Picked up 3ft at Petco.
