Sorry, I didn't see this. Yes, that's a perfect plan. That's exactly what we did, just our overflow was in the middle. I basically cut out the outline of it. I wish I could take pictures to show you how well it held up, but we gave that tank away about 6 months ago. That's the 5th time that tank was moved and the backing was still like the day I put it on there.... flawless.

Tried that, got bubbles. Ended up using plasti-dip, peel able. You can make your own custom blues, or black.

You need to smooth the bubbles out with a scraper.

@Lionfish Lair went ok lol have a few bubbles I can't seem to get out hopefully the rock will hide them and the light won't make them more noticeable but looks pretty good.

How big of a hole did you put in the bubbles? I used the corner of a razor blade to make a small slit.

 

[Busa1340]

You popped a tiny hole in them?

I didn't do that just scrapped like hell lol

I buy that for all my tanks. I don't use anything else, I love it. Watch the installation video they made.
