Finally picked myself up a 3d background for $110AUD figured it was too much trouble to try DIY one into an established tank with a t-bar. I have my canister filter running behind it, yet to put the heater back there was thinking of a small power head to return water back to make sure the temp and water is circulated properly. What are your thoughts?
That's a significant improvement. Not that it looked bad before, but it gives a lot of character to the tank. I like that you removed the slate looking pieces too. It all goes together much better.
Looks great. I'm looking for the same thing. Can you tell me the name of that background and how deep it is? My tank is only 18" and I'm concerned about putting a background in that is up to 12" deep.
Doc_Polit - in person its alot different and the fish behave a lot different from what I have observed.
David001 - the link is above, its made of rubber or latex or something so only as deep as the impressions, if you had a perfect fit id say it would only take up about 1-2" at the most. iv got my canister running behind it and its bows out at one end because its a little long, but i think that curve gives it more character.
quiksilver, good to see a fellow aussie and a QLDer at that!!
the background you said is latex so i am guessing it is flexible. I dont suppose you noticed whether come in 2ft height for a taller tank? also was there different patterns?
Those purchased 3D backgrounds always leave a sour taste in my mouth. They look so friggen' awesome, but they are so friggen' expensive. Your tank looks really really good dammmit. :x
