Now, once that task is done and the glass back of the aquarium is thoroughly
scraped with a new razorblade and wiped down with an alcohol-based cleaning
solution, if you wish to recreate that "mirrored" effect then go to a silver
reflective window film! This product is most often used at the Auto
"window-tinting" shops that are very common!
Read the instructions on the package, and be very certain that the back
glass of the aquarium is spotless and you won't have a problem!
