Tank Background

[divetroop]

I just upgraded to a 70 gallon tank. I need a background for the tank (preferably blue). I have not been able to find the common blue background sheets for my tank due to its height. If I am not able to find any blue background sheets I might have to paint the back of my tank. I have already stocked my tank, not thinking that it would be this hard to find the appropiate size background sheet.
If I do decide to paint my tank, what type of paint should I use. Should I paint the back of the tank with regular spray paint or use flat or latex base paint and use a roller to apply it?
Tank dimensions:
Length- 36 inches
Width- 15 inches
Height-31 inches

Use a arcylic paint ( safest for aquariums) availabe at walmart with a small roller works best that is how I did my 150 when it was stocked but I think black looks much better than blue.

Forgot I would use flat paint it gets enough glossiness just from the glass and you don't want a reflection on the back of the tank anyway.
