Anybody know where to get nice internal backgrounds?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
but how do you keep a wall (vertical) of rocks up? I have never heard of "backgrounds" sold out of rock. They are so impractical to ship and assemble. It's sitting on glass right? The whole Europe is using these cement-based ones above. They are pricey though, $$100s of $$.
 
These things are great!

The materials
The materials used in the Back to Nature backgrounds include polyurethane, yet this does not say so much since there are many different kinds of polyurethane, some of which are not even suitable for aquariums. The mixture of polyurethane used in the Back to Nature backgrounds has been carefully tested for many years and does not release any chemical substances into the water which may be harmful to fish, plants and other living organisms in any way nor does it affect the chemical composition of the water. For this reason, Back to Nature backgrounds may be used in all kinds of aquariums, even marine aquariums.

Hard and durable surface
The special production process used in the manufacture of the Back to Nature backgrounds results in a surface which is extremely hard. This is why the backgrounds can withstand rather vigourous cleaning methods. The risk that the background will be destroyed by algae-eating catfish species with strong jaws is minimal (although some caution must be taken regarding some Panaque sorts which have been known to destroy "everything").

Underneath the hard surface, the material is more porous, making the background even stronger and more durable.

I love seeing that tank every time you link it :)

A GREAT example of the sheer beauty of the foam. Worth every penny in my book, I'm gonna look into it myself :)

Yes I agree with you guys they really are pretty. I did have at one time a real rock bckground for a 20 some odd gallon tank. IT was nice and real. was very heavy but was of good quality.


As for the backgrounds. Were exactly coudl I find a nice foam one for a 29 gallon tank and how much would it cost?
 
jason, the links above have prices and shipping info, you gotta look harder, and not have us find all the info for you.
 
jason, I did not mean to be rude, if you felt it was I apologise. I just think that you may want to spend more time on the sites looking around. If you read on the background site, they tell you what sizes they have w/prices, and what you need to do if your tank does not fit the sizes they do. It's pretty simple actually, you buy one bigger and cut it :)
 
Yes inded searching the site is good and you can get a lot of info from it. I need to do more of that. But at the same time if yo ucan ask a direct question and get direct answeres from members that is eaiser and a more direct way to get the infomation you need.

If you or others don't want to help or think I can get what I need via the search engine then you need not respond to my post. I am not tryign to be rude but I thought this was a board where I coudl go to talk to others and discuss things and learn???
 
Jason, it's not about our desire not to help you, it's about the fact that people expect you to do some homework before you ask for help, at least with stuff that is obvious. We have no problem helping w/stuff you do not understand, but asking for sizes of backgrounds, when the site lists under each background the sizes and prices for each is not something you should be doing. You should do some searching on the site itself.

Keep in mind also, you are asking us for specifics of a site that most of us just glanced through, just like you did, and had nothting to do with, or even purchased from. We dont have any extra info that you could not get from just looking at the site and clicking a few links.
 
Like I said it is cool with me if you guys don't want to offer extra help or advice. If you see things that way, and I am not sayign you are wrong, then you can just not help. YOu all have the power to not write a response if you do not want to. I will get the message.


Sorry if this caused you or anybody else issues/frustration/problems as it should not have and was not meant to.
