3D backrounds

[jaws7777]

Have you checked out JK47's definitive thread on installing backgrounds? He cuts his backgrounds and puts them together in the tank.

Rigid foam backgrounds can be cut and then reassembled. Universal Rocks uses a polyurea type material with rock material on it, so the backgrounds can bend. Here's Stuart installing a background.

Universal Rocks rocky background is flat with a lot of texture (Albertan has one on the floor of his tank) It actually comes in a roll.

I see problems for a tank builder installing the background, even if you can find a builder to do it for you. For one thing, if you want to plumb the filtration uptakes and returns behind the background, you have to do it yourself.

Chris said they can do it. Since it will have 2 internal overflow im.guessing he can cover them.with the backround ?

View attachment 1179989 Another vote for Universal Rocks. We have their "Crevice" background in our 300 gallon tank and bought some matching rocks to go with it.

Is there a way for the backrounds to cover the overflow boxes ?

You can get the covers that Pacu mom linked in your last minute thread.

Just called Universal Rocks today ... had questions about the rocky background we are about to install as a floor covering in our tank. They were most helpful with suggestions and said to call anytime if I had more questions. I really appreciate the fact that they are available for guidance.
