If you are looking for a cheap background do what I do and use tinfoil. This looks great comes in different colors and even paternes now. I don't like to fight with triing to keep it all looking flat all the time so I crumple it slightly for a totaly different look. 1 rool of tinfoil will cover a few large or a lot of small tanks. I think it looks better then store bot backings and if kept smoth it will give a mirror like effect. Not realy a DIY but I felt this was best searved in this section.
 
I use a large piece of fabric with velcro. It's cheap, washable, and you can find any color or pattern at the local fabric store.

another cheap and affective way is to use large garbage bags with a bit of vegetable oil, or vaseline, whatever your liking is.

Is the vegetable oil to stick the background on? I've been trying to find a way to adhere the background onto my tank, without leaving a permanent stain or damage to the background (like glue would)
