I am wondering if anyone one has ideas for a background for my tank that I am building that would be easy and cheap to do?

Thanks

Well, there are some nice picture backgrounds you could go with. There are the habi-scape fake rock walls, other plastic inserts, cork bark, or you could build your own using styrofoam or wood.

And then there are some people who just tape a piece of paper on the back. It really depends on your budget!

Thats a neat thing to do. I just went and checked out that website. But my question is this,what type of paper did you use?
Cause a reg sheet of printer paper,only covers not even 1/2 of my tank in height. But I would love to have somthing like that for my tank.(even tho you weren't directing that link to me..LOL)
So how'd ya do,,uh,uh,uh???

to fit your cage. Print sections of the picture then tape them together.
