sorry not a fan ....
I painted my tanks black when I wanted a background. Not saying that you should follow, but I think you can DIY something better yourself.

thanks
i'm considering several options, including paint (though the tank is inhabited, therefore, paint is a logistical issue)
are you "not a fan" because you tried it and it didn't work satisfactorily?
i'm not really seeking opinions of the background so much as of the overall quality and effectiveness of the system

I can warn you that working with filmbacking and liquid or gel attachment techniques is best done with the tank flat on its face also. But I have not tried the product advertized at that site.

Er, I just Scotch-taped one like that on the back of my planted tank. Works fine for me. If I ever get my background plants exactly the way I want them, I'll probably tape on black construction paper instead.
