Hi,
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could use for a background in my paludarium ?

Here's a link for a background that might be of interest and there are other links at this site for some others, don't know if it will help, but it's a starting point that may give you some ideas of your own.

I love the background idea, but seems a little too elaborate and I'm going on a 0-3 dollar budget lol.

Black construction paper???.......

I know petland sells backgrounds. They run pretty cheap depending on the size of the tank.

Look on the computer as well for pictures you like, print them off.... I dunno but you said cheap =p

Depending on how many plants you're adding to the paludarium I'd got with either a dark blue or a black. If you're going with fewer plants use the blue, more plants then use the black. If it's a small tank you coan get backgrounds from almost all LFS's for around $2 a foot....if it's a large tank try using wrapping paper for now.

I'll be doing a concrete/styro background for my tank ...just as soon as I get some solid answers on the concrete issue I posted about. A 50pound bag of concrete is only around $3....and what I'll do with the other 49.98 pounds of concrete I have no clue ...
