Foam Back Drops.

[Cossie1111]

I went out to the store and saw an interesting thing: a back drop made out of foam, that is designed to be siliconned to the back of the tank.

Has anyone ever seen/used one of these? If so, what is your experience with them?

One thing I wouldsay is.... dont keep plecs as they chew right through it! Saying that... some cichlids will as well.

The ones I have (I needed two to do one of my four footers) are some kind of expanded resin that's very like a dense foam and needed to be siliconed in. It's was expensive, but I'm very happy with it.
Spend some cutting to an exact fit and stick it in well so the fish can't get stuck alongside or behind it!
