Frosted glass hanging/back of tank

[colmans]

Hi Folks,

I've been looking at frosting the back of my tank but I don't have any space to get my hands down the back! I was think of getting some acrylic cut and frosted and then hanging that from the back. Has anyone done anything like this before or any tips how to frost the back when I don't have space for my hands .

Cheers

Hi Johnny,

I've encountered the same issue as yours I think.
(Language diffs).

I used Kappa board/ foam board to cover the back side of my tank (120 CM).

Pros
Wight minor
Color - black / white
Easy to use (assembly and cutting)
You can even add some pics on it before assembly.

Cons
You need 2 sided glue type

(Works well for me )

Photography shops have frosted foil sheets that is used to slide in front of lights to soften it. They should have it in different sizes and different opacities, maybe even cut to size.

Thanks folks, I'm actually wondering now whether I could hang some of this light diffusing acrylic and then stick some LED strips on to diffuse the light. A sort of cheap lightbox as the tank is close to the wall most of the light won't escape anyway:
