background

Anyone in here have experience making DIY 3-D backgrounds. Would be interested in getting some info about a build.

Hi all - I have a 110 tall tank (dimensions 48" x 30) and I cant seem to find a background for that size tank - looking for suggestions.. Just looking for plain blue.. I might just have to make my own - which should be exciting !

Title says it all, 55 gal with stand, canopy, lights, sand & 3D background $150. Tank is is good condition with a few minor scrathes. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks Troy

Is best for a Peacock only tank? The colors of the fish are yellows and blues. I wanted to go with black but I feel like the blues won't be seen as much as the yellows. I tried a pearl white background on another and the yellows blend into the background. The fish also seemed to be way too light...

It pains me to say this. But I will be moving and cannot take my 6ft 135 gallon tank with me. Tank comes with homemade stand and canopy, universal rocks Texas wall custom background, 2 aquatop 404s. 2 beamsworks 36" 10k led lights. Glass lids. Heaters and powerhead. Also some rocks if you want...

This background didn't turn out to my liking. If anybody wants it they can have it for free. It still needs to be clear coated.

Does anybody have any suggestions on a particular brand of paint they use for painting a tank background? I've used Plastidip on several of my tanks, but have been having issues with the cans not spraying properly and getting inconsistent and gloppy areas. I think painting with a...

Bought this 7xx2 210 tank last year and finally found the time(and manpower) to get it down into the basement fish room a couple of months ago. I had done the DIY BG already and it was waiting to go in as well. That was made by carving out 2" pink insul foam and covering it with 3-4 coats of...

Anyone have any idea what color background might look good in my tank. I have a couple dark fish and black sand so I'd like something that I can still see my fish good. Here is a pic of the tank. Any opinions help thanks all. Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

I don't want to paint the back of my tank, but what is a cheap way to do a background? I'm thinking blue perhaps?? Any ideas will be greatly appreciated Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

We have a "paper" background on the 150 and, after doing some research, mounted it using mineral oil. It looked great at first, but 2 weeks in and it is NOT sticking anymore. What do others recommend for mounting a background on a tank?

Free to any paid CCA member.. $20 towards membership for non-members.. Must take all 5.. Can bring to meeting.. I have 3-4 for a 48" footprint and 1 72" footprint.. I may be wrong about the other two 48" footprint because I'm lazy to open it up and measure..lol.. But I am sure of the 72" and...

Here's the progression of building my DIY foam and concrete background. It was a fun project for sure! The plan is to get at least one 8'x4' sheet of insulating foam from my local hardware store and cut that down to size to make a rock background. Cut out "rock pieces" from the remaining part...

If anyone has a 3D background they're looking to sell (something we could hid equipment behind) that would be awesome! Otherwise - black. Have some pea gravel and cichlid mix gravel for trade, although that clearly doesn't cover either. If we could get to the back of the tank, we'd...

I've made a foam and concrete background and currently have it soaking. I've changed the water from the tank quite a few times (on maybe half a dozen or so now). I left it soaking for about 5 hours last night and the pH was back near the top of my High range pH test kit (it's likely that it...

I'm new here and just got my 55 gallon tank setup and started about a week and a half ago. I want to create a nice 3d background for the tank, which shouldn't be a problem to build. My question is how can I secure the background to the tank without using silicone? I have read on here that it...

I think I found myself my next project. I'm planning on setting up the 180 reef-ready I got on Craigslist a couple months back. How awesome would this be? http://www.cichlidforum.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=198615&sid=e668101198459831666aa01aeeecb3e9 This is by far the best job on a background...
