Re: Backgrounds

If you have the tank against a wall you will have no choice but to empty it and move the tank if you want a job done right and neat. If you already have easy access to the back of the tank, then shouldnt be a problem.

Re: Backgrounds

I used to use a plastic blue shower curtain that I got for a few buck at a big box store. It works better than paper.
