background ideas

[Rainfrog]

I cant remember who but a short time ago someone posted a thread about a new corner tank the wanted to make a viv out of but did not want to ruin the walls of the tank. I was just thinking what if you put doun a layer or two of black electrical tape on the surfaces you wanted to use foam on and put a small bead of silicon on the top to help it hold? If you wanted to undue it you would only need to use a razer to remove the silicon and peel away the tape. Do you guys think this could work?

I had a similar concern for my background and wound up using a scrap sheet of 1/8'' plexi. I cut it to fit snug against the tank silicone and just laid it flat against the back pane. I probably should have put a bead of silicone along the top but all the gravel, rocks and root structures imbeded in the foam and braced against the bottom have held up for a good 6 months now.
