Best way to paint background?

Spray paint also here. MikeNapoli had a thread and the first few posts was about painting his tank.

I did NOT spray paint the overflows. I dunno why - I just didn't.

Its a good idea not to paint the overflow. This way you can see whats goin on if you have plumbing issues. Also to see who finds their way in there

I'm planning on attaching a sheet of black acrylic to the back of my tank with velcro. That way, I can remove it for cleaning the back with a magfloat.

I actually did this with one of my freshwater tanks using that plastic poster board material...it's about 1/8 - 3/16 thick. Cheap, durable and easy to cut to fit the back of the tank....worked great.
