I'm not familiar with the vinyl that Jack's offering, but I can tell you my experience with the vinyl used for graphics on cars. You spray detergent/water on the vinyl and the surface to be covered, then place the vinyl on. You can slide it around and mash out bubbles until it looks just right. Then squeegee the water out and it's stuck. After it dries a day or two, use a needle to poke a pinhole wherever a bubble formed and mash it down. It's intimidating at first, but in the end you'll realize it's really easy. Occasionally bubbles will form as it ages, usually only a few but sometimes a lot. Those bubbles won't go away. But this is on cars that live in direct sunlight, an aquarium probably wouldn't have that problem unless the halides shined directly on it.

Removing aged vinyl is whole new story. Heat gun, scrapers and some serious chemicals to get the residue off. Again, that's for vinyl that's lived in the direct sun.
