Who has removed the black material from the back of the NC glass?

[Naado Fett]

How many of you have removed that black plastic venier-like material from the backs of your nano cubes so you can see the compartments from behind the tank? I was thinking about doing that, but I'm curious how you like it now that it's done. One issue I was just thinking about is with a fuge light there's a lot more light spill over from behind the tank, but I guess it wouldn't be too bad. Finally, how did you get the material off of the back? I'm guessing a straight razor to peel it off.

i do. just yank it off, no need for razor.

the benfit for this is that i can put a fug light behind the cube without need to put a light inside.

[SeanCallan]

You were able to just rip it all off at once? didn't require anything razor?

[stoney waters]

You might need a blade to clean off the adhesive.

[ashburn]

no adhesives left on my nano at all. just yank it slowly from side to side, work it to the center. [ok.. a good strong nails required... in this case if no nail.. then blade ]

I tore the backing from my 24g and mounted a fuge light to the back of the cube. If that's what you were thinking of doing then some pics are in system setups.

Naado Fett,

 

Which tank?

[ashburn]

sterling18,

 

i think he's refering to the nano cubes all size came with the black stick on in the back

If there is adhesive on the back, put some rubbing alcohol on a rag and wipe it down to clean it off.
