Yes it is easy, It just takes time and patients. It doesnt take that log but you cant rush it or you will waste the vinyl. I would go and tell the local decal shop what your planing on doing and they should be able to give you some tips and walk you through it. And you HAVE to clean the glass very good before you put it on. On my tank with two people it took about 30 mins or so.

I actually just did this with a similar product. I did it by myself on a smaller tank (36''), and while it needed some touch-ups, I thought it turned out pretty well. Took about 30-40 minutes. Now, my tank was empty, so having a full tank sitting upright may be a different story in terms of manpower and time!

so is there a front view of the tank? to see finished product?

I have to say I saw a tank with this on it a few days ago and was not impressed. We pulled it off and just painted it black. It looked much better with the paint. It may be nice to be able to remove later, but I (personal opinion) did not like it.

If you use soapy water, there will be white streaks at first. After a day or so, all the soapy spots will go away. I love mine.

Here are a few pic of the tank I took a few days ago. Ignore the algae, It has been a pain to control on this tank.
