This can’t be fixed. You should get rid of that tank. I can help you and take it off your hands. Lol. Jk.

How strong is the sticker adhering to the glass? Is there a glue substance on it or just an oil to hold it in place? A thought that comes to my mind is a floor scraper from a hardware store could be used to pry it of the back.
 
Usually your normal backing has no adhesive or anything, it's just stuck on by tape, occasionally I've seen suggestions of things like mineral oil. So...Usually, it's taped on, just yank it off.

If you can't get to it, drain most of the water out of the tank and yank it away from the wall, pull the background off and then shove it back.

Ok thanks sir. Will try to do your suggestions. My background is making my tank unattractive lol

Its a normal background sticker where u can buy to local petshops. It’s quite sticky

That looks like Oyama stickering and yes it's quite difficult to get off, no way that's coming off unless you drain water from the tank and move it away from the wall. If you can't drain the tank for whatever reason, you'll pretty much have to live with that white (unless you hide it with say a 3d background inside the tank).

I have essentially the same problem but even worse: white Oyama stickering on the bottom of a 325, one of my bigger mistakes ordering the tank with that instead of black stickering.

As a side note your LFS did a terrible job of putting on that stickering :(

The fish should be fine in a low water level temporarily. Or use a rubbermaid tote/tub to put them in while working on the tank.

I dont think it looks that bad. Sort of arc deco lol.

You should be able to lower the water level enough to move the tank a bit off the wall...

Actually you make a good point, maybe it's good they messed it up lol. In fact with all those air pockets it should also come off a bit easier if he can get it away from the wall. Normally with that Oyama it takes some decent strength to pull it off, esp. if it's been on a while.
