My back is currently blue. Would like to change it to black, but don't want to take it down. I used that stick on vinyl when I first set it up. Anyone have good results (or method)of changing it after the tank is up?

+1 on krylon fusion. Awesome even application on glass. Masking tape off the sides and any openings and make sure the glass is SUPER clean. Good to go. Did my 75 in 2 quick coats.

We (and by we read my wife :p) put our vinyl background on after the tank was set up.

any decent latex will work. semi gloss. you can roll or brush just allow plenty of time between coats or you will pull off the first coat.

so - latex - semigloss and roll it on. I think I'll have to try this on a different tank first and see what happens before I do my dispay tank.
