Backgrounds are normally fixed to the back of the tank on the outside -
I use sellotape to fix mine - you need to be careful to avoid air
bubbles although these can give a more textured look (did it by accident
on the Malawi tank). So if you are off to buy the type of background
that I understand that you are just go buy it, manovoure it behind the
tank and get sticking....

I thought these structured backgrounds went inside the tank?

There are silicone marks on the glass from when a background was in
it before, and I assume they'd show if I was to use a background that
attached to the back of the tank. Having said that, it might be worth
a go, for the sake of convenience.

PS I wouldn't go adding any Clowns until you are totally sure that you
are clear of ich (they are very susceptible to it). I'd wait at least
another week if not more so that you are totally certain that the ich
has gone...

nod I know they're very susceptible. But I wasn't planning on
putting them in for at *least* another week anyway, as I want to
order plants on-line too. If I get a background in these weekend, I
can order plants at the beginning of next week for delivery next
Friday, put those in on Friday evening or Saturday, and then probably
not add the clown loaches until the following weekend. It's too
difficult to try to do anything much when I'm here with the kids on
my own, and the baby wants me and only me in the evenings, so
weekends are the only time I can do this kind of thing. I'm not
complaining - I know how fast the little ones grow up :-) - I just
have to plan a little more carefully :-)
