using the waxpaper in the tank is a good idea. i use drop ins myself but next time i might try the paper. how would you be able to remove the backround without destroying it. the tank frame always sticks out 1/4-1/2" over the glass. I guess you could leave two sides bare (the front and one side) to make remove easier. good idea

If you carved the GS, it shrank because it wasn't fully cured before you carved it. I actually rather like the look it takes on when it shrinks and purposefully carve mine early (as if I could wait, lol). I think it looks more natural that way. Since silicone is flexible, it doesn't seem to damage the covering when it shrinks.
If you didn't carve it, I don't know why it shrank.

LOl, every SO often you do have a good idea that we want to emulate 
The tank looks great so far! I can't wait to see the finished product.
