Ok let's begin

Rename this layer MM ... Layers> Duplicate ... Image> Mirror

Paste your Tube as a New Layer and position in the Middle of your Tag

making sure it goes off canvas at least a bit at the Top and Bottom

(You may also want to resize a bit like I did ... Check my sample Tag for reference)

Layers> Duplicate ... Activate the bottom Tube layer

Effects> Eye Candy 6> Gradient Glow ... with the following settings

Adjust> Add/Remove Noise> Add Noise ... with the following settings
