3d Backgrounds

[rossyboy]

Hi does anyone know of a supplier of 3d aquarium backgrounds?

I don't mean the standard 'tile' styrofoam ones... such as the Juwel designs, i'm talking about the realistic rock backdrops- usually made to size specifically for the tank.

Must be UK

Help please because Google wont

Have you seen here?

I've not used the guy so this is not an endorsement but I kept the link a while back because I thought that it looked interesting.

That looks quite good.

That looks quite good.

I used to have the Juwel backgrounds but removed them when I rebuilt the tank. To me, the problem with any of these 3-dimensional backgrounds is that they displace so much water and significantly reduce the capacity. Now I just have the stone wall of my living room as a background - looks acceptable I think (though, perhaps, a backdrop of garish wallpaper wouldn't be so pleasant).

Hi there,

I had been doing a lot of searching for a 3d background for my first ever attempt at fishkeeping and I wanted to ensure that I put in a good one for my first attempt.

Have a look at www.backtonature.se , they have some fantastic looking 3d backgrounds and some are very expensive, but they have a slimline range which I was looking for as they do not take up much space in my 95l tank. They come at a reasonable price but it can be difficult to find a stockist. But eventually found that www.onlineaquariumstore.com stocked them.

Instructions on the 'back to nature' web site regarding how many pieces you need and how to fit them are very clear and I was a bit worried about my first attempt at siloconing something into my brand new tank but I am really pleased with the outcome and my tank looks great.

Good luck.
