Keeping the back of the tank dry

[lilhurleybunny]

Hey everyone!
I found this really cool wrapping paper that I want to use as a backround on my tank. The only problem is that the back of the tank is pretty moist and because of my air pump (in the back) water tends to sprinkle out of the back opening in my hood (where all the tubes and wires feed out of the tank) and water would make my wrapping paper all soggy . I see very impressive paper backrounds on your tanks, how do you keep them dry?

I'm assuming that pre made backrounds for aquariums are water proof but there has to be some solution!

Thanks!!

I designed my own background and had this problem.I used the sticky backed stuff you cover books and things with.Its like laminate sticky backed plastic that you can get from most stationary places.Its difficult to cover the paper with it without someone elses help though.Hope thats helped.

add a condensation guard to your tank and you won't have this problem
