Something strange is going on in my all glass aquarium.
It is a rather large tank, four feet by maybe twenty inches tall. I had a nice printed backdrop on it that never looked right as sects seemed to be missing some sort of overcoat. Some parts were bright, some were dull.
When I moved the tank I got a new backdrop. As I was tossing the old one out I noticed it looked just fine in my hands. Oh well, put the new one in and son of a gun the same thing is happening!
This time in the new position I can look thru the side of the tank. Most of the real glass is bright, just reflecting ambient light. But some areas you can see the backdrop pattern, and those same areas are the portions that appear very brightly. It also seems like these bright portions are trapped against the glass, perhaps by a thin coat of water, or just electrostatic attraction.
Anyone know what I am seeing? Is there a way to get the entire backdr to be as bright as the rest?
