Well my background finally arrived and I know that some of you are curious to how it turned out. It turned out to be a pain in the you know what but it isnt because of the background it was due to my clumsiness. Its basically just a big piece of textured styrofoam just like a styrofoam cooler is made of. So you would think it would be easy to cut. Actually it was pretty easy to cut but in the course of me trimming it down to fit my tank a huge chunk broke off as I was cutting it. Guess I took too firm of a grip while cutting lol. I had to take one of the trimmed off pieces and trim it down to fit it all together. It took much longer than it should have but I finally made it work and I think it turned out nicely. Here are all of the pics so you can see how it has progressively evolved.
This is how I started.

Here is the final product with the new background. It really makes a huge difference I think.
