Aquarium Film Background - It's Just TOO Easy!

[@techpro8391]

What kind of plant is that on the middle of the aquarium 1:16 ?

[@TheWaterBox]

Not sure. wasn't my tank

[@GirlTalksFish]

Great video! Can't wait to try this sometime.

[@TheWaterBox]

Yay! :)

[@raededmon2581]

Late to the party, but thank you for this. I'm new and just setting up my planted tanks. I was looking at the 10 gallon tank I just finished, thinking to myself "that black background just makes things look sad and depressing." Glad to see there is another, affordable option.

[@TheWaterBox]

Great! Glad it helped!

[@orbital1782]

Great video Chung. Please give us an update on the 120 gallon planted discus tank 😁

[@TheWaterBox]

Soon my friend. Stalled cause I need to borrow a shop vac from a friend. Or I might just do a manual shovel. Lol

[@orbital1782]

@@TheWaterBox Chung it's been over a month!!!!! We want the planted discus tank! We want it!

[@PastTheDirtRoad]

Great tip man. I like the look of the natural frosted

[@TheWaterBox]

Tanks!

[@goatbilly964]

Love your humour! Great video thanks!

[@TheWaterBox]

Thanks!

[@roundedrob1483]

Good idea l like the frosted look with colored lights. That's a cool look.

[@TheWaterBox]

It does right? Thanks for watching!

@@TheWaterBox Thanks for the tip.....

[@TheWaterBox]

np!

[@madfishdiva]

Great video. I have black poster board on the back of my acrylic tanks because of the depth.

[@TheWaterBox]

You can always just layer it to cover the depth but they got some lengthy ones you can buy

[@madfishdiva]

The Water Box i might give that a try. I love the clean look of the frost as oppose to painting. Plus you can change it up.

[@TheWaterBox]

Yup! :)

[@cheryllong995]

Is there anything like this film that I can put on the aquarium floor to make my barebottom floor look white like sand ? Thnks

[@TheWaterBox]

Probably, if you look around but you won't get much of a 3D look. There'd be no texture to the look of it. IF you do want something more better looking, try stone tiling you use for floors, it'll cost more though.

[@cheryllong995]

Thnks for answering my question.@@TheWaterBox

Good tip video Chung. 👍 I've seen folk use some nice patterned ones to good effect too.

[@TheWaterBox]

Awesome!

[@shesellsfish]

The frosted natural looks great. I like it. 👍💕👍

[@TheWaterBox]

I'm glad!

[@thatinvisibleguy173]

The frosted is really cool, I normally see those whack jungle ones.

[@TheWaterBox]

Eww! LOL

[@axelchio4872]

Thanks very helpful.. and what kind of light would you suggest to create sunset like background? Thanks again!!

[@TheWaterBox]

No problem! Just get an led light they sell cheaply on amazon. Or a strip if you have a large tank. I'm not sure how big of a tank you have so it depends on that.

[@npetersen60]

What are you thoughts on using car window tint for background?

[@TheWaterBox]

It's basically the same thing. It's window film.

[@NYGOLD]

WOW!! You made it look easy! Great info!

[@TheWaterBox]

Thanks!

[@DowntheWormHole]

That is a nice look. Wondered how they did the frosted light look.

[@TheWaterBox]

Now ya know! :) ❤

[@cooliipie]

Great video!!

[@TheWaterBox]

Thanks for the visit

[@hotniaoniao]

I can't thank you enough for this tip! @ 2:01

[@TheWaterBox]

Glad it helped

[@Justin-yk3ox]

If I die and go to he'll, my job there will be to put these frosted backgrounds on aquariums. Impossible to line up, water everywhere, and when I finally got it to work and looking good, it looked like hell when I put water in it. Tiny little air bubbles show up everywhere, and if you have thick 10mm glass, the bubbles look like cracks in the glass.

[@LPH-11]

Great video and info! My issue is my aquarium is already set up and I want to change the background to a frosted or white. I was hoping you were going to show how to change it on an already set up tank. I guess it would be the same but less room to work. Thanks for the info!

[@TheWaterBox]

You got it. It's the same. If you can't move the tank, it might be a tight fit to get it on.

[@thirdwatch9939]

Quick and ez, nice video.

[@TheWaterBox]

Tanks!

[@shawngrignon4020]

is there any films that will block uv light to prevent algae growth? im planning my first tank but the only spot I have is directly in front of a window. I know this spot isn't ideal but is it doable with a film?

[@TheWaterBox]

I've never tried or even looked into if that would help control algae growth. Sorry.

[@franklinoshaughnessey2551]

Some films WILL block uv light just look on Amazon and they'll specifically say

[@vb2377]

For a dirted tank, how deep do you want the sand cap to be? Do you ever have problem with rooting issues?

[@TheWaterBox]

1 to two inches. No rooting issues.

[@Flaznoz]

Very useful thanks!

[@TheWaterBox]

Glad it helps!

[@alibomaye8]

I've just apply it to my nano tank. The problem that I have is small micro bubbles of after the application. Even if I scrap off all the water after the application. Is that normal? Thank you for your great content by the way 👍

[@TheWaterBox]

You probably didn't soak the surface enough before applying the film. Just peel it off and start over. That's the great thing about background films.

[@impossibull9371]

Hey! I've never done anything with aquariums but im wanting to get into them, im starting off with a 10 gallon tank and I am wondering how many fish should I keep in the tank? Also do you have to do lots of work to take care of live plants?

[@TheWaterBox]

It depends on the fish you're keeping that the setup you have. It doesn't take that much more work if you stick with easy low light plants as I figured you don't have planted lighting or substrates for plants. Watch my beginners guide to planted tanks series. It'll go over everything you need to know.

[@cichlidguru1163]

Hello my friend it's been a min .great video as always

[@TheWaterBox]

Thanks!

[@TankTastic]

Need new content! Learned so much from this dude.

[@TheWaterBox]

Glad it helps!

[@portiaholliday8741]

I got Universal Rocks background from Amazon that Zenzo has. I've gotta take is out of the box and soak it. This is good for my other tanks:-)

[@TheWaterBox]

Nice!

[@MELODYMUNRO]

I tried this on my 6ft aquarium ... the plastic film was on a static dog hair feeding frenzy.

[@TheWaterBox]

Haha well, that's what's holding the film to the back of the tank.

[@martink4358]

I took the background off my tank , ( a blue one ) i changed to an led light but the tank was too dark with the background but looks better now without it

[@TheWaterBox]

Nice!

Am using black film to my indoor but my tanks mostly are outdoors.shout me out to your next vid pls 😁

When you complete your decor setup with the rule of thirds/golden ratio and you realize you forgot to put on the background film......(me) fml. I swear this happens to me all the time
