Review on 🌵 Galápagos (05401) Arid Terrarium Clings: Ideal 11.125in x 36in Décor for 30 gal Tank by Jessica Shakman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

love it and so beautiful!

Very pretty and looks great! I will say that the installation took some time, 20-30 minutes. As it comes rolled up and the material is very thick and durable I decided to flatten it under the books first. I didn't want it to curl up on me during use. It helped a lot! Once it was fairly flat I trim it and prepare an empty tank. Be sure to clean the glass with Windex and have a bottle of soapy water handy. When you're ready to wet the back of the tank with soapy water, make sure it's wet enough...apply the backing, then use a scraper to prep plenty...this will remove excess soapy water and air bubbles . I used one of my bank cards as a scraper and it worked great. If one side begins to rise, wet that side again with soapy water and a squeegee. If you put more effort it will stick properly and once it dries you're done! I used a few extra inches of length that I cut off and placed on one side of the tank. I wouldn't recommend wrapping but cutting and just applying to this side. The material is thick and strong so I don't know how you can get it to stick without it sticking up that much.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
