Best way to remove Acrylic paint from back of glass tank!

[bfazio1030]

I painted my glass tank Marine blue with acrylic paint. I want to remove it and get a black backround. Anyone have any tips on how to remove the blue acrylic paint? This tank is live and still has rock sand and fish.

Same thing happened to me, dish soap and water with scotchbrite should work. I was really tough and mine didn’t scratch... mine was glass though.

Acrylic is pretty soft. It should come up pretty easy on glass if you get under it with a razor blade.

Awsome thank you. Did you do this while you had fish in the tank?

No, I hadn’t. But it won’t hurt any of the livestock as long as you don’t get paint or dish soap in the water

A razor blade, elbow grease and patience.

Razor blades, from my experience. Razors and time.
