i blacked out my tank using the black foam board in the school supply section at wal-mart it also helps insulate the glass a little, i did both sides, 3/4 of the bottom and the top and used an aquarium background on the back. on the front glass i made a black curtain that has magnets to attach it to the screen top
it is not necessary but it helps keep them calm down while they settle into their new surroundings .
