55 Gallon Tank Ordering a tank background picture through Uprint

I did something different for a background picture on my 55 gallon aquarium then usual. I send an image of a custom print to Uprint online and had them print it for me using the same material that is used for vinyl signs. I had never done this before and I love it. This turned out really good and I believe it will last for years and can be used over and over again. Cost me $41.88 and the turn around on delivery was fast. I used clear gorilla tape to tape it to the back of my aquarium. I even missed up with wrinkles in the picture, pulled the gorilla tape off the print and didn't hurt it at all. I am not sure if you can do this for a 3D picture that fits inside the aquarium, but you can ask them about it. Uprint's online help was very friendly and very helpful. I know because I messed up on my measurements twice and they changed it for me, but this was before it went to print. Please see the image of my tank below and the link to Uprint.

First thanks everyone for replying.

This is going to be a dirted tank and I am making my own aqua soil. I had to order the last two ingredients, iron oxide and diatomaceous earth for the aqua soil recipe, because I could not get them locally. Once that is done, I will get it all setup planted and let it age for a few months, allow the plants to grow etc before adding fish etc. I am leaning toward angel fish, but I might do keyhole cichlids they are peaceful and good with plants.
