Nothing you can do but to scrape it off the glass with a razor or a scraper, at least get a part started first with razor blade, then start scraping.

That's why I buy those background covers instead of painting it in case I get tired of it...I went with black on mine, it make sense to me since it make things pop out better, but it really dims the tank as well. With the Blue background, it really make it look bright and pretty...With that in mind, I might hit the store for a blue background....
I got an idea when I was planning my reef setup so I gave it a try. I knew that once the tank was in place I wasn't about to remove it for anything, so I had a guy from a local auto body shop come over and apply 20% (allows 80% of light through) smoke gray window tint to the sides and back. doing it this way I've added the impression of depth looking through the tint to the blue painted walls behind. If I want to change colors, I repaint the walls, not the tank and I don't have to contend with salt getting between the glass and the stick-on background.
