Hi everyone i am about to start my first DIY 3D background. I am gonna do a full walk through with it as i go along n keep u all updated on its progress. i hope to get it all right the first time. i live in Brisbane Australia so the products and brand names you guys use in the US don't exist over here but I'll still use he same basic formula for the back ground. I am gonna try n make it like a lagoon cove or some thing like that with a small beach/island area for my turtle to bask on at each end or maybe one end i am not sure yet I'll see how creative i get with it. there will be plenty of caves n hiding spots. will have a full UGJ system with the inlets in the middle half way up the background.
it will be removable because iam planing on upgrading the tank further down the track to a slightly bigger tank 6 x 2 x 2 for a 6x 1.5 x 1.5 so i will be making an extension part for the base of the background so when it comes time to transfer it over it wont be short.
other than that heres some pics of it before n the fist drawing on the foam of it.
Any help would be great from anyone especially if your in Australia and have done a background b4.
Cheers Dno.
