What is this brown paper/glue on my new tank

So I just got my SR 80 set up in my living room. Now my first question is, how do you get this brown glue/paper off of the back acrylic part and that’s on the stand??

Also, I went to attach a pic and I can’t figure out how to do it

It should peel off from an end.
Pics are a pain here.

The stuff on the stand is coming off pretty easily - but the part that is on the aquarium back wall looks like it could be a painful process. It looks like a thin layer of melted on cardboard ..... I still can't get pics to upload.

Don't use a blade on an acrylic, just sayin', in case some sticks. A credit card edge (old one) or plastic blade is ok. Sometimes an eraser can pick up or roll glue remnant.
