If the image to be viewed curls away from the tank, tightly re-roll the background the opposite way and tape for 8 hours before applying. Cut background to fit aquarium. Lay image on newspaper face up. Spread SeaView liberally to the entire surface using your hand or paper towel. Place treated side of background against the glass or acrylic and center the image. Push any trapped air bubbles out to the edges using a flat surface ie: plastic card or ruler wiping excess solution from edges with a paper towel. If bubbles are hard to remove, apply more solution to that area.

Use Glass Cleaner instead

The89vision

Hot Garbage! Use glass cleaner instead of this French fry cooking solution. So greasy doesn't hold. This thing holds more bubbles than a Mr. Bubbles summer toy. I used glass cleaner and it's still holding strong with the same backer after I spent 4 years of my life cleaning this hot mess off my tank.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Disappointed

Very disappointed in this product. I could not get the background to stay fixed to the glass. And since it is an oil base not an adhesive, couldn't figure out how to make it adhere.

No, I do not recommend this product.

IF YOU LOVE YOUR FISH TANK DO NOT BUY THIS

I bought this product a week ago. I used it on my tank last night. The next morning the background was already starting to peel. I thought, oh well I’ll just flatten it back out with a credit card and it should stay…. It didn’t. After much frustration I said fine… I’ll just get an adhesive background. I removed the background I had and my tank was now covered in an oily substance that is near impossible to get off.

No, I do not recommend this product.

It’s so messy and does not stick at all. Wasted my money on this. I decided to use Vaseline on it and that works better.

Terrible

This is the first and last time i use this oily mess of a product. The mess took 4 times longer to clean than the actual installation took. On top of that i still had to tape the edges. I have no info about this drying or curing. I thought the background was a peel, wet and stick type of deal, like cell phone screen protectors. Nope, found out later that you have to buy this mystery solution. Now i know why the professionals just leave the back clear, use an actual fabricated background inside the tank or just paint the the back of the tank black, which is what im going to do from now on. It's 2022, there is no reason for this product to even exist given the state of technology today. This is bad, really bad and i dont know how long it will actually last. Im just going to go ahead and leave the scotch tape on and hope i dont ever have to touch this stuff again except for the extensive clean up I'll have to do when the background has to be removed for whatever reason. Just Dont!

No, I do not recommend this product.

    Yes it attaches to the outside but if your putting it inside as long as it’s not to close to the lamp it should be fine.

Is it toxic to fish?

  1. 9 years ago
    Awesomemom, Thank you for your question. The SeaView Gel is completely non toxic and should not be harmful to the fish that is added to your aquarium. To ensure that it is fully removed from your water we would recommend adding a charcoal media to your filter, such as carbon, as this will help remove not only the SeaView Gel but also the detergent that may be lingering on the plants and in the tank.

use of magnet cleaner with affixed background

  1. 11 years ago
    I would believe that you could when it is cured, and completely sealed. However I would use cation when doing so, because it might create an air bubble between the background and glass that you do not want. If you do not want to risk the attempt of possible getting an air bubble get an algae scrubbing brush, and use that on the back of the aquarium instead of the magnet.

how do I clean the dried gel glue to put a new background

  1. 12 years ago
    Thank you for your question. The manufacturer recommends the use vinegar and water to remove the old product. It is not crucial to remove absolutely all of it as the new solution applied will cover and hide any remnants of the old gel. -acs

SeaView Aquarium Background Mounting Solution is waterproof can i use inside aquariumq

  1. 10 years ago
    DO NOT use this inside the aquarium. It is meant to attach the background to the outside, back of the aquarium. It's very oily/greasy and will probably harm your fish

Is this a spray? What exactly is this, can someone be more specific?

  1. 10 years ago
    This is an oily/greasy, thick gel. You pour it on the background on the side you wish to see, spread it out evenly and completely, then apply the background to the back, OUTSIDE of the tank. Smooth it out with a stiff ruler (or something similar) to get out all the air bubbles. This stuff is fantastic
