Reading through the threads as we speak. The other question I have, is have you guys painted the back of your tank? I hear it really smooths out the background, but I dont know if its something I should look into or not. If I were to go down that route, what kind of paint would be safe to use? best way to do it?

Go for a painted back. IMO Krylon is the best bet and works well. PAINT THE OUTSIDE OF THE TANK NOT THE INSIDE!!! I've seen several people do this... not good.
The paint is fairly easy to remove with a razor blade in the future. The only other alternative I'd recommend is adhesive vinyl sheets. You can get this from most sign shops and it's pretty cheap. Sticks on well (some tricks to putting it on though. PM me if you want to got this route) and it is more resistant to scratching than the paint. It's fairly easy to remove with a little elbow grease.

There's a thread in reefcentral about a diy background I really like but might be too much work for someone just starting.

Tanks looking sweet, I would take Tony up on that Cricket offer. Watching him try and wrestle a cricket out of a glass tank would be something I pay for
 . TONY VS THE CRICKET ROUND 1!!!
