Black Background

[Frisnog]

Is there anyway to change the black Background in my 55g tank? I think its painted black on the back of the tank.

Your probably going to have to just scrape off the paint with a razor blade. It should come right off.

straight razor is the way to go, unless it's acrylic. Then you're ****ed.

yes if it doesn't become soggy it will stain your acrylic depending on how much you apply to the acrylic

You can always go to a store like Tap Plastics and buy the 1/8 inch blue acrylic sheets and slide it in front of the black background.....the only thing is that you will have to get the acrylic pieces in sections.....
