I like the look of a black back ground. I did not want to paint the tank or lay out $20 for a plastic background. I ended up taping a piece of tar paper on the back. It looks great and is waterproof. I would be careful with coral, it can make your water harder. I find lots of decorations at yard sales.

even though I can't stand petco... I was there the other day looking for a few things... Well, I generally speaking I can't stand fake things but I saw these these coral and similar type decorations that were kind of rubbery. They surprised me a bit how realistic they looked...
Have you thought about some driftwood?
