Background Installation tips

I've seen rock backgrounds, etc. inside tanks, obviously, but never a vinyl sheet background which is what I thought we were discussing here.
Maybe you can explain how to install a vinyl sheet background inside a tank -- also how would be the best way to clean it.

Here is what I would do.....take and wad it up and throw it in the garbage.... Then go buy a can of Krylon black spraypaint....mask off around the edges and then spray it with 3-4 coats until you cant see any light spots when you look at it ...then call it done and enjoy your new gourgous black background 
Just playing...I have saw a few of the tape on style backgrounds that looked pretty good depending on the theme of the tank. But all my tanks get the black Krylon treatment

The blue painters tape works very well for taping backgrounds on the tank back. 90% of the time it doesnt leave adhesive behind like regular masking tape does.

if the tank isn't full of water yet, you can adhere it to the outside with a little cooking oil... you want to sueegie out all the air, so the bg is fully adhered to the back with no bubbles.
Dang, those last three replies had some nice tips. Too bad I had already installed it with plain old scotch tape. I think it came out pretty good though. Thanks for the suggestions.
