Home Depot sells rolls of vinyl drawer liner. I bought one with a dull black color and attached it to a tank. It adheres nicely with no tape or prep required. I couldn't find one in a green or brown shade though.
Tank background colors?

I know you said post pictures of tanks other than black, but this is different enough that I thought maybe you would want to see it 
Got the idea from another thread here, it is metallic black spray paint, and I love how it looks. They have lots of other colours you could try too.
Not a great picture but you get the idea:

Looks good - do you have a whole tank shot?
See and I never even thought of painting the back of the tank.
I went to the craft store (Jo-Ann Fabrics), and bought a shimmery black material and some of that self-stick velcro. I sewed around the edges so it doesn't fray, and then put the velcro on the back of the tank (not on the glass, on the fake wood frame at the top of the tank), and on the fabric, and stuck it on. I take it off and toss it in the washing machine every once in a while if it gets dusty, but otherwise I really like it. Plus it's not permanent. So if I change my mind about what I want the tank to look like, I can remove the background and use something else.
JMO of course.
Very creative!

Mad as in angry or just plain NUTS?
Yup. I turned it around. Partly to keep from getting dizzy watching my fish, and partly so I could do more background stuff without shoving into the space for the mid and foreground stuff.
Great idea! Be the fish!:thm:You could get a self portrait of yourself and put it on the back of your tank
