There are no stupid questions!

I stick mine of the outside using a couple of bits of celotape at each end.

just put it on the back outside of the tank useing bluetak (sp) or celotape,and use a much as you want till it looks ok and tidy and then cut any bits that poke out the side if you know what i mean.

You can get those that fit to the inside of the tank, they are usually a bit more expensive and require fixing with a silicone glue (like bathroom sealant).

Personally I dont like the backgrounds. I have used plastic plants that look as real as possible to create a backdrop.

I don't use background but everyone I know uses it on the outside.
It's not a stupid question i've heard a few people ask it before.

i have used vaseline to press the black backing on to my large tank. it makes it like applying a decal. its quite tricky to get all the bubbles out but it does look better than with sellotape.

i have a 5G that has a mirror on the back that i am going to seal a black background on the inside of the tank to cover the mirror so i can have a betta in it
