Im setting up a new 300 gal frontosa colony and I was wondering what is the best idea for a background for my tank? I want something that looks really professional and good. i was thinking about styrophome insert. my tank is 8'x2'x2.5 and the top has 4 permanent glass braces which are 2' apart so i can't fit one big structure inside but i could possibly cut it into pieces and put back together inside the tank. any ideas or photos of a nice background to give me ideas would be much appreciated.
 
It's not easy to find backgrounds for larger tanks. You can get 72" 3D backgrounds, but I've not seen a 8' one. I gave up long ago, and said f *#@ it and went "naked". Cheezy mylar backgrounds are around, but I don't really like those. If you find any good ones, please let us know.
 
kinda depeds on what fish
like cichlids look really good with the stacked slate-looking rocks

other fish dont

Go to aquatichabitats.com (if money is no object!).


I just the site... very cool..!!!! However, I didn't see any tank backgrounds... it is mostly high end lab type stuff...

Is there another part to it... a hobby offshoot...???
