Bring the colors and textures of the tropics to your aquarium with the Sporn Static Cling Tropical Aquarium Background. This static cling background is the perfect touch to bring your aquarium style to the next level. Not only does it look great, but it also adds depth and dimension to your aquarium by reducing background light and clutter from the surrounding room. It will make your fish, plants, invertebrates and other accessories stand out, and also helps keep unsightly stains, electrical cords, and filters out of sight. Plus, it clings easily with no tape or adhesive needed so it’s easy to apply, and can be adjusted to most aquarium sizes. This is also great for use with aquatic turtles, aquatic amphibians, and invertebrates.

1) Thoroughly clean the mounting surface of the tank. Conventional glass cleaner may be used. However, it is very important not to spray the cleaner directly onto the tank. Always go to another room and spray the cleaner onto a paper towel and then use the towel to wipe down the outside of your aquarium or terrarium.
2) Measure the area of the aquarium or terrarium you will be covering with the static cling background. Use a measuring tape or the numbered grid on the back of the background (count both the horizontal and vertical lines). Once you have determined the size, use a sharp pair of scissors to cut along the designated gridlines, making sure to capture the portion of the image you wish to display.
3) Remove any obstructions, which might be blocking the tank surface (e.g. air pumps, thermometers) and spray a light mist of room temperature water onto the glass surface.
4) Starting at one corner, gently peel the white backing from the static cling background. With the graphic side facing up, spray a light mist on the side that will be pressed against the glass.
5) Align the top edge of the static cling background with the top edge of the tank using your hands to adhere at least the top two inches onto the glass without wrinkles. Mist the back of the static cling background and use a burnishing tool to slowly smooth out the static cling background.
6) If needed, you can repeatedly pull back and reposition the background. The background will maintain its static cling ability.
7) Once all the wrinkles and air bubbles have been removed, use a razor to remove any excess.
8) Enjoy the new atmosphere you have just created. When necessary, pull back the static cling background to remove the wrinkles. It is the best to start from the top center and push down and outwards, towards the sides, to work out all the wrinkles and air bubbles.

We have a smaller tank so had to trim the cling, but it really adds something to the tank. Also hides the cords behind the tank when you're peering in at your fish. Really beautifies their little home. If I get a bigger thank, I'll get another cling. Really like it!
I purchased 2 of these for my 10 gallon tanks and they make a huge difference in the asthetic. Easy to apply and happy the backing was lined for easy cutting.
I used this on my 20 gallon bowfront tank. It was snap to install and looks natural and beautiful. It definitely lowered the stress level of my fish who had been swimming in the tank with no background until I bought this.
Simple to put on, quick, no glue perfect, looks good.
Shipping was so quick! The background was great and easy to install.
The colors are much paler in real life once applied to the glass compared to the example image.
I bought this for a 36 gallon bow front aquarium and it looked real nice! Love the static cling feature!
I like that it clings to the tank. The one I received is not vivid at all like the pictures. Not sure if the printer ran out of ink on mine or what? I threw it away after a week and purchased one from the pet store. It is not the cling type but is bright and beautiful!
It's been some time since I've put backing on an aquarium and this is a great invention. Static cling! Measure, cut, spray, apply and flatten. I've had it on for a couple weeks and I have not noticed any edges falling off. Love this idea and great choices.
This was perfect for my daughter's 10 gal. Clings perfectly.
