hey well i suppose that is up to you and your preference hay, try a different numvber of backgrounds and see which one best suites you, for me a backgropund would serve only as a deco, i have a number of tanks and dont have any backgrounds, so yeah like i said it all depends on your preference on how you want your tank to look.

yeah in agreeance with bananapeel, the perches and branches and stuff are more benificial to your creature rather then a background, the background creates a visual appeal for us.
Usually it's cheaper. unless you find a cheap one online. the good thing about making your own is that you can make it to your needs and liking. You can get them custom made but they cost a bit. to make them you can either:
use expanding foam which you spray on. this you can them mould into the preferred shape. then use render if you want (optional) and paint. make sure the stuff isn't toxic.
or you can use styrofoam packaging stuff and carve it and sand it into a basic shape. then apply render, concrete and paint etc etc. whatever you want. there are a couple of threads in the DIY section.

here are some threads. sorry i couldnt find one on using the expanding foam but it's pretty basic.
hope this helped
