I was looking for something unique for a background as I couldn't find a scene I liked at the Pet Stores or online. Went to Menards last night and found some preformed kitchen backsplash. It's plastic and came in sheets that are 24 inches in length and 18 inches tall. I trimmed it a tiny bit with a utility blade and used two panels to complete the background. I used packing tape to prevent water from leaking through. So easy and not so cheesy! Brushed nickel. I only have damsels while the tank is cycling and they don't seem to mind at all.

Great idea looks really good.

Thanks! I looked around for quite awhile before choosing it! It has a small seam in the middle where the two pieces meet, but it's hardly noticeable.

Nice!

I've always just sprayed the back glass with black plasti-dip. Looks good and not permanent.
