Quick Question - How do you apply your backgrounds to your tank

[itsKRUDD]

My roommate said something about wetting the side, wedging it inbetween the tank and trim, and that the water will bond it. Google says tape. Ive actually NEVER put these on my tanks, so any suggestions and help is GREATLY appreciated

Are you useing a 3d background or something special? Or just the paper one? I'd it's a paper one just use comman sense an tape it up to the back.

I just tape mine on the back if its a paper one. Though I got a vinyl one once which just stuck to the back of the tank on its own which was nice

Step 1. Take tank outside
Step 2. Get black spray paint
Step 3. Paint back with flat black spray paint
Step 4. Let dry.
Step 5. Done.

No backgrounds to apply and reapply ever again

Probably way better than what I did. Gosh was it frustrating trying to put that on the back of a full tank next to the wall. I was so over it... Hah
