I KNOW!!! I am hopefully getting rid of that background TODAY!! That was a rookie mistake on my part, but I am much wiser now. I can't decide what to do for a background tho, a fake freshwater pictures, or solid color background? I've heard some paint the back of their tanks. What to do, what to do???
Welcome to AC. :thm:Since your tank is set up and you can't paint this one unless you empty it, I'd get some of that slick background stuff from the pet store.
They have black, and a blue-black that's nice. You cut it to fit, and then use either vasoline or they sell some stuff to use to make it stick really nicely.
Using tape to attach it just doesn't make it look like it does when it is in contact with the glass or acrylic with vasoline or whatever that other stuff is. The color is rich and intense. Your fish, plants and decor just pop!!
Also, if you change your mind later all you have to do is pull it off.
Great that you've joined us. These folks here are awesome. :worthy:There's not a problem or an issue that you can't be assisted with here. The fish gurus here have thousands of hours of experience (collectively, not individually... except for Bob...he's old )
