To Paint or Not to Paint?

Clearance between the tank and the wall will be pretty much zero. The only way to clean the back glass will be to use a scraper on the inside of the tank.

Tape on vinyl was something I was considering. But I wasn't sure if the standard aquarium backgrounds would work all right, or if there was a better product to use.

Paint is a good option
