Backing.

Curious.
I am getting a new 120 gallon and I have never thought of putting Black backing on tanks before but Now that I pay close attention to the nice pictures of people's tanks, generally they have a black background. Is it normally painted on or do I just use like back construction paper?

You can paint the back or use black roll-out plastic type backgrounds as a less permanent option.
