Blue Background On Aquarium

Hi Guy's,

I purchased the blue background sheet for my aquarium. When I installed it, i sprayed water between the glass and the sheet and used a squeegee to get the air bubbles out to give it that clean crisp blue color. But, as days go by....I lose the clean blue background as you see in my picture....a blue background with black marks which represent that the blue sheet is not stuck to the glass. If you compare it to when I initially installed it, youll see what Im talking about.

Does anyone know what I need to do or use? Any suggestions are welcome.

what product did you use?

 

I believe there is a glue product that they make for backgrounds that you can use.

 

blah what they sell is mineral oil with a huge mark up. best bet is window tint, or paint

 

That's what I am doing: painting.

 

I just used water...

 

good call

 

Paint it, use red devil enamel. Brush it on. It will look great.

 

Hmmm, an upside-down tank... that's different.

I have the same background on mine. I just taped around the edges to secure it. In time, the background will become rather insignificant as the glass covers over with coralline algae as well as becoming hidden by your corals. Personally, I wouldn't bother with it at this point, but that's just my opinion.

 

There is a product called seaview gel I think that is for backgrounds.
Ive used vaseline and it does the same thing.
My vote is paint it tho. You will never have a problem with it coming off then.
If you used latex paint you can easily peel the paint off if you need too.
