Backgrounds On The Side Of The Tank?

[TrooperVinny]

What are you all using to adhere the backfround to the tank? I'm a total newbie to this. Thanks!

no one has mentioned the reflection effect of the tank...

looking from the front you cant see out of the sides - the angles are all wrong and it just looks like a mirror... and so it reflects the back of the tank anyway....

you can see exactly what i mean in this picture... it was taken from an end looking into the tank with the plec on the front glass...
The plec is in the tank on on the left... the reflection is on the right.

what i'm saying is that there is no point...

On my planted tank I used 20% limo black window tint on the two sides and back. One piece, just started at one side and installed it around to the other side. You can see through the sides, but when looking through the front glass, you cannot see through the back. Also cuts down on any stray sunlight into the tank and at night the 3.5 wpg only shines out the front of the tank instead of lighting the whole room.
