any ideas on highlighting background!

[RacerFish]

Hi FishPeeps!
I was wondering does anyone have any ideas on highlighting the background. Because I noticed as water enters into the background, the background picture noticeably looks much clear, and it looks really nice to see when looking through the aquariam, its probaly because the water is pressing aganist the glass...well if anyone has any ideas on this, besides putting water in the background, please give me your input, or us your input. ok thanks.

Can't really do much about it.  If you want a blue background or a black background, spray-painting it with rustoleum brand spray paint is also really nice.

Yeah I know what you mean, It looks much clearer.  Id love to know this too!

i dunno if this will work but try using some sort of spray adhesive i dunno what kinds of brands are there but u can probally find some in a hardware store(just make sure it's not so strong that u won't be able to remove it if u mess up), and just put it on just like u would put tint on a car. i was thinking of doing that to my tank with a background but then i'll have to turn my tank around and it's against the wall and full of plants and fish, maybe i'll do it if i ever need to clean the whole thing out... maybe i'm just to lazy to do it right now lol *twirlysmiley*

you could clean the glass back there with mineral oil. That is known to make things shiny, but greasy as well *shrug.* Nail Polish Remover is also a good glass cleaner.

What is making the picture seem sharper is the magnification. You could try to find some sort of clear lense that would magnify the background when slipped in there.

how do u use the mineral oil with it? just put it on the glass and place the backround on it? and how long will it stay there?
