Questions & Answers

What happens to it once it's ?

There is no need to place the item inside the tank, it belongs on the outside.

It can wrap the sides and back of a 20g, right?

Six rolls of toilet paper were sent to me! There should be one that fits your needs. The tank in my truck is 40 gallons. This size is double that of the previous

What are the fitting options for a 36 gallon tank?

The size of the tank is perfectly suited to a 10 gallon tank.

Is it possible to butt two together for a 72" ?

Having found a way to secure them at the seams, it would seem possible to butt together two of the same design. The backdrops make an aquarium look nice.

Selected User Reviews For Marina Precut Background

It takes a lot of patience and care, and is not the most economical option
3/5

In the screenshot below, you can see a nice dark background, and I'm sure it will look great set up correctly. It must be applied, first, and another product needs to be purchased separately to do so. It is unclear whether or not it was mentioned in the description, but when I opened it and realized that, it was disappointing. The paper felt a bit slippery when wet, so I tried to glue it to a window to see if it would just "cling", but it didn't really work, so it's not very easy to use. I don't think it is worth the risk to do it, but some reviewers have had some success. The fabric comes rolled up, and you have to handle it very carefully once you unroll it. In the end, it will crease a little if you bend it a little bit. The damage is not permanent, but you will have some sort of "mark" or "divot/crease" in the background then. When the light hits it, it makes the dark background appear more vibrant and adds interest to the photo. In the hands of the meticulous aquarium person, this could ruin the look completely. In several youtube videos, it has been suggested to use black posterboard, so that is what I will use. Aside from the potential drawbacks, this product just has too many points against Although it looks awesome when done correctly, there can be too many problems in the process for it to be considered a success. This product is definitely not something I would recommend.

There is nothing more to say about it
3/5

You need to spend quite a bit of time installing it. A mount and a video camera are necessary when you use the Vepotek Vibrant Sea
3. You had to use glue, or something similar, to actually adhere the glass to the frame, which was not addressed (thank you to all the other buyers who brought this up*). Is it any wonder that it was a pain to install? As a result, I am happy I ordered the adhesive, which is sold separately, even though it is necessary to stick it to the tank, otherwise, you will need tape like you would for Thus, it would not be a clingy situation The background is on. The fabric is very thick and easily ripped This is a plastic material. The tank I have has trim, and it is a 60 gallon tank, but it does not have an intake valve. In order for it to fit my vehicle, I had to trim it down a bit. I also had a hard time with that. At the end, it does look pretty, but not like I was expecting. I'm fairly sure I read that it was a self-service system, so I’m guessing it is. The background is made up of adhesive cling. It was also a surprise that I had In this regard, it was not what I was expecting since I also had to buy a separate product to use it. To put it mildly, it is a very misleading product, and it is not so easy to wear. As you can see in the picture, the background is extremely bright, but I'm pretty sure that's because of a really nice led light covering I apologize, but I haven't put any water or fish in yet. I have also included a second photo of my old background, which is a more flimsy plastic I am able to tape up with ease.

It was exactly what I had hoped for
5/5

As I had been searching for, I found exactly what I wanted. It arrived in good condition, with two different side views as shown in the pictures. (I also had to roll it in another direction for a while to compensate for the extreme curvature, since it came rolled up. ) I purchased this product for a $2 discount. This image was cut considerably after it was taken in order to fit the tank, and it still made a lovely As soon as I applied vegetable oil on the image and adhered it to the plastic tank, it was crystal clear. It has been almost two months since I last experienced attachment issues. you want an affordable, simple, easy-to-use solution, you have come to the right place If you love aquariums, this is the backdrop.

You've got a good looking website
5/5

I bought the Marina Clear View Background Solution before attempting to apply this background to my aquarium after reading some of the reviews. I decided to tape it on instead, as it turned out. It was too difficult for me to apply the background with sticky stuff all over it without getting sticky stuff all over my wall and making a mess. Since my aquarium is not set up yet and I am about 5 inches from the wall, I felt it would be difficult for me to adhere the background. To make the background fit my 29 gallon tank, I had to cut it. The glass was barely covered with clear shipping tape, which I used with care. There are no people who can see the backside of the tank, which is good. I was able to keep the background anchored by using the filter as an anchor (the background is sturdy enough that it didn't move around much). There was no crease on the paper. There is a great contrast between the blue and the black sides It's not quite as tan as my.

I am disappointed
3/5

Well, until its mounted its not a bad looking BG. did not realize I would have to spend more money on installing I have a galss that does not show anything through the colors. Therefore, I read here and discovered that you need to obtain something that is temporary. That was a complete waste of time. My old background was simple to install, and I wanted to replace it with a simple background that takes up less space on my desktop. My guess is that I will put the old one back on and chuck the rest. It is appropriate to include a notice in.

There seems to be no chance of it moving
5/5

My soapy water and credit card worked very well in removing most of the bubbles from the roof. It looked like it would stay in place. The color of my tank is great and gives it a nice look.

We are unsure of what to do
3/5

It's not a very popular solution (and it's not made very clear upfront that you need a separate solution to get it to work). While the package was intact, the plastic container inside had been broken, leaving an obnoxious pattern of creases and dent marks all over the background tape. I am not sure if I will be able to apply for I would be glad to hear from anyone who has suggestions. Thanks a lot.

I like it! I really like the background of this I chose this product because it is strong and I was able to cut it to size, so it fit my 5 gallon aquarium perfectly
5/5

The scotch tape that was used to secure it to my tank is not removable. This tape does not affect the aesthetics of the background and holds it firmly. The package arrived quickly and in good condition. Quite pleased with the outcome!.
