Hagen Marina Background Solution, 1-Ounce

the product works fine. make sure the background is flat. mine wasnt, so i had to use clear tape for the edges. works great but, so does a cheaper bottle of mineral oil...

I had a background on my 55 gallon Which I stuck on with double sided tape. Where the tape ran, the background was pretty bright, the rest was so-so. I saw this and wondered if it would work to make the whole thing look like the parts where I had the tape. It does! The background is so bright now. It reflects light back into the tank, and makes the whole thing brighter. Amazing! My recommendations: Make sure your surface is clean (mine wasn't, so the bottom doesn't stick too well. Ideally make do it before you put your aquarium in place. Mine was 4 inches away from the wall, so it's impossible to get it perfect. Even still, this stuff is amazing!

This product works as its intended, however I was hoping for a better dispensing solution. I was attempting to apply it straight to the fish tank since my backing kept rolling up and prevented me from applying according to the directions. But overall, once applied liberally, it worked perfectly for adhering the background to the tank.

Product application was easy enough, and results were satisfactory... for approximately 30 days. Long vertical sections have "bubbled up" from the glass, and one end has started to separate from (curl away from) the aquarium glass.

Maybe I could have done things differently prior to installation; flattened background, used more than one tube, etc. However, considering the distinct lack of information or guidance in these areas on or in the packaging, I will never really know.

I would not buy this product again.

You could use this goop or some sort of vaseline based solution for your aquarium background. It was a messy, messy job as I spread the solution evenly over the background. I must not have done that great of a job because my background started bubbling and I eventually took it off. Maybe it's a user error, not the product. I wouldn't buy this stuff again because it's super messy and now I'm stuck with trying to wipe if off the back of my aquarium, yuk.
