Im about to start on my new bakground for my 210 Oscar tank as ive got nothing else to do on it ive already DIY'ed the stand,hood,wet/dry sump,overfow,UGJ system,daylights and night lights.

I like doing things for the tank and this is the final thing and proberly the hardest DIY project i can do for the tank

I need some answer on afew questions before i start, the only thing ive ordered is the polystyene sheets so.......

What resin/paint do i need ?
What the best way to use the paint on the polystyene to get the best effect ?
How to seal the polystyene so the colours wont leach into the water ?


Any and all help will be greatfully recived and ill try to keep this thread up to date with pics as i go on
Oh im in the UK so sme products you use in the states is not avalible over here
 
I like what you have done but im after a 3d effect background just trying to find the right bits to put it all togather
 
i like the cartoon playing in the background and now you will face my doooom.
