Do you have inside the actual tank?

I have mine background Taped outside of the tank.

You can paint the back of the tank as well.

Hey mate, I have like a piece of plastic to move the air. U need some moisture between the glass and the paper. I used to use this for my car window tinting.

But you can use a ruler. Find the airbubbles and push them up.

If you're getting water between the background and glass, and it is placed under the top lip, then chances are the silicone between the glass and rim has a leak, or it's splashing on the rim and trickling down. Try lowering the water level just a tad to see if this helps. This may increase the flow thoughout the tank tough, so you'll have to see if it's too much of an increase for your fish. My 50g had the same problem and lowering the water level solved the issue.
