STEP 1 - Background Film and Background LED Light Installation
Unroll and flatten Background Film. Measure
length (L) and height (H) of glass aquarium panel*
(glass only, don’t include the plastic frame), and
lightly mark cutting lines using a pencil.
*If you have a standard rectangular/cube tank, the front panel is
the same size as the back panel. For bowfront or corner aquariums,
you will need to measure the actual back glass panel.
Using sharp scissors, carefully cut Background
Film to size. You can also use a razor blade and
straight edge for cutting/trimming.
Remove any hang-on filters or other accessories from
back of aquarium. Use a cloth/sponge and freshwater
(NO SOAP or CHEMICALS) and clean back glass panel.
Dry with cloth towel.
(For the best lighting effects, it’s also a great time to clean the inside of your
tank glass and remove any algae!)
