tips for using a background?

[froogy]

I bought some background for our tank. I have it cut to size and the back of the tank is clean and dry. Any tips for how to apply it? I'm guessing tape but wondering if it would look tacky and decrease the appeal of the background. I'm going to use the side that goes from dark blue bottom to lighter blue on top.

Just use tape, or double sided tape.

I am going to use black eletrical tape. Its water proof and will be hard to see as my backround will be black.

A cool trick for applying the background: Wet the exterior wall of the tank where you wish to place the paper background and press paper aginst the glass. once in place, use a squeege or something of that nature and slowly pull the air bubbles out . I use this technique on all my tanks and is awsome because it looks like a painted backgroud and I can change it whenever I want!
