Diy background on an established tank

[Owens]

I know there are plenty of threads on how to make your own backgrounds, my question is how would I go about putting a background in my established tank, obviously I can't silicone it to the back.

Does anyone have any ideas/experience on how to install a (probably foam) background on an established tank without siliconing it in place?

I just recently purchased one on amazon. It hangs on with 3 clips at the top. It was the only way I saw it being possible.

Is there anyway you could take a picture of them? See if I could fandangle something to work

I tried once using small suction cups. Worked well except there was some wiggle room and the dragon goby immediately went behind it and got stuck.

The clips are basically little circle with a slit cut in them that goes over the back trim and hold the background to the back wall. I will try to find a picture or take one.

I'm at work so I made this lol. This is what the clip looks like and it just secures over the back of the top trim of the tank and holds the background underneath it.

My lfs sells them with magnets, you slot the background in then you get these little circle magnets that attach on the back of the tank to hold it in place.

they are the universal 3d backgrounds so shouldn't be too hard to find !

We will of course need before and after pics when you do it.
