Hello, do you know where I could buy a cheap white background for my tank?
Thanks!

You should be able to find vinyl adhesive backing at most craft stores - Michaels, AC Moore, etc. I just read another post where a member used mineral oil and a credit card to apply the adhesive without getting bubbles in the background. Might be worth a google search to see how that is accomplished.

if it's not a display tank, i suggest to use styrofoam from HD. Just pill the plastic out then you'll have white background and keep the heat at same time.

not sure your tank is acrylic or glass. Just a fair warning for acrylic tank, it's so hard to remove it if you change your mind.
