Thanks everyone just waiting on new stand to arrive to move shrimp tank to other side of the room to get 120cm tank in excited af
 
Just looking at your nano tank and the black background really makes a difference to how the tank looks. I'm undecided on white or black background. Is it an Ada background or just painted with black board paint as I know this method is used by some. Ive got some bb paint in the shed but im a bit worried about how it would turn out. Cheers

What brand did you get off eBay. And do you have small pockets of air. I bout a white one from b&q and it's terrible
 
Hi
I used black and white one from B&Q and it worked well.
I spray loads of water first to help me with taking the bubbles out then apply the film.Let it dry for a week and trim the edges after with a very sharp razor or paper knife.
One thing to be careful in not to fold the film as it will leave crease lines.

Little update: new custom cabinet arrived 1500mm for two tanks, the 60L iwugami is now planted and growing in nicely, stocked with green neon tetras and two beautiful electric blue rams, the shrimp tank has it own stand now and is doing fantastic had a little wobble with HYDRA but no planaria has now sorted it and my red cherrys are doing excellent ive got babys all over and more are pregnant, currently saving for 90p or something similar sized - ill be posting regular update these are my first ever planted tank so im super proud so far
Thank
Nath
