Blacking out a BP Tank

What do you guys prefer to black out/insulate a BP's glass tank with?

I used black poster board paper and velcro cut to fit. Easy to romove the paper for cleaning.

If you are looking to insulate it, they make black foam core boards. Check your craft stores, or even WalMart.

ive used contact paper on the outside of the tank. more recently i bought some styrofoam at lowes. super cheap. i wrapped that in contact paper and very discretely taped it to the tank. i think i like the velcro idea better though.

ive seen people use all sorts of things to "black" out a tank. ive seen pennies, $2 bills, cds, cd covers, kids artwork, photos, etc..

I used 2.5% limo black window tint. I cut it to size and applied it to the tank like I would to a car window. Works great and I don't have to worry about taking it off to clean it.

I use this too. The foam helps my temps in the colder parts of the year
