HELP CHANGING BACKGROUND

[azian_kicker]

My fish tank is acrylic and the back was tinted acrylic. Now I'm trying to change the background and thinking about putting a background film INSIDE the tank but have no ideas how to keep it attach to the surface.

I don't want to use any thing permanent like glue and won't be able to take them out in the future.... Please help. Any advise would be very appreciated.

suction cups x2 maybe some of those food clips from petco

or a lil more indepth, i would attach the clear plastic tubes for air pumps, but the stift ones, not the flexible ons, to the edges of the background to force it to keep its shape, then use suction cups or......
u could amwich the background in between another pice of acrylic (clear) from lowes or home depot with your existing wall of the tank

please tell me clearer. how do you use suction cup to attack it to the back??? I'm not really sure i understand what you meant.

Silicone the four corners? Silicone can peel off as well.

hot glue suction cups to the back of the four corners of the back ground then stick them in the tank..
