Where to purchase Black Background?

[Saint Taris]

Any one know where I could purchase a black Background for a 75 gallon? The LFS that I went to only have small backgrounds that fit 20 gallons.

If you are coming to the meeting I have about 9' of black you can have.

I think petsmart usually carries a variety of backgrounds

Most folks (my self included) usually just paint the back black. Just clean it well. tape the sides to protect from over spray and get a can of flat black paint. it is easy.... I've done a dozen over the years.

Or... you can get a roll of black christmas wrapping paper. it is a little thinner but it works fine.

for what its worth...

I simply taped black construction paper to the back of the aquariums in my classroom. They sit atop the lab counters, so you can't really tell it's construction paper.

goto Home Depot and get a pint of black latex paint and a small roller and roller on!!

may take 2 applications but would take no time to complete it.

hint!! dry each layer with a hair dryer

have done 3 tanks like this and had no problems
