    Yup, x2 for the contact paper or shelf liner. An added bonus to shelf liner is that it helps insulate a bit to retain heat.

    Hi,

    I used the aquarium/ terrarium backing paper from petstores and then put cork sheeting outside it to help with the temps inside the tank as well.

    I tinted mine with 2.5% limo black car window tint. I cut it to size and applied it to the tank, just like you would a window.
