I read that someone tried this. Has anyone else?
I seen quite a few posts from people trying this. Apparently it works quite well. It's also a good way of trying a black background before buying a background or painting the tank....I read that someone tried this. Has anyone else?
I would use 'masking' tape to secure it, it leaves little to no residue when you remove it.....Good idea here, I'm going to try it on my new 20!

You could try layering it, then placing a towel over it and ironing it. Should remove the wrinkles but still a bit too fiddly for me. Better just buying some from a roll at the LFS and using Seaview or Babyoil to secure it.....I tried it briefly on my 30g and the wrinkles just looked bad, IMO. I heard of people using vegetable oil on regular backgrounds to get it to stick. Maybe something along those lines would help with wrinkles.
Yeah it's amazing how much of a difference this makes. The colours of everything in the tank really pop. It gives a nice depth to the tank too.....Just did this today to my 40G quarter round. Wow what a difference it makes. I now plan on getting some acrylic paint and painting it black just because there are some wrinkles in the bag.
The fish really pop off the background now
