I know that many of us use those fake backgrounds to add a little color to our tanks. But what are those rocky backgrounds that people put inside large tanks called, and where can you buy them? They look like the rock face of a mountain and look really cool.

How much do they cost, let's say for a 7 or 8' tank? And where do you go for good rocks and driftwood for your tank? Thanks a lot.
 
they are around 160 for a 4 foot by 18 inch length (55 gallon) depending on what you want. Rocks....The River. Driftwood...Im not a big driftwood person but i could imagine ordering it online wouldnt be to economical.

there are other type like those roll up ones where you add to your external backing, but quite flat but still adds some color and realism into the plain tank

like those 3D ones, the tank need to be emtied and set before the whole water system is ready for fishes once again
look for good LFS, should have them
cheers!
