Cover back of the tank

How did you cover the back of your tank? I know most people paint, but i cant really do that on a running system.

I don't cover my back wall, Coralline Algae does that for me, I suppose you could put a plain color aquarium background on the outside.

"Water Colors" by Blue Life. Will work with most 40 to 90 gallon aquariums. Comes in blue or black. www.bluelifeusa.com. It looks great on the back of my 90 gal.

I just bought the blue on one side, black on the other background from petco. Some months I like black, others blue for a change of pace. No big deal, just tape it on.

lol ill look into those from my LFS. For me to glue it, i would be in a very awkward position, cuase there is only 3 inches between the wall an the back of the tank.
