Sooooo who wants to sell me a 3D background?

[CrystaliZed]

I created my own outa polystyrene for my 180, as I wanted it up to 4" thick in areas for tunnels I made for a few fish. It has a slate color w/ green plants and built in bubblers. I did have an issue w/ some silicone I used so had to re-piece it together w/ aquarium silicone but it looks pretty sweet and getting ready to re-install in a few days.

Alright got the light, showing glare from the window but you get the idea

 

[Steveo McNello]

Wow, not bad. Looks great! Are the seams noticeable at all?

 

[Aqualoon]

Well, as you can see not extremely noticeable.

You can tell where they over lap because of the edges but as you can see nothing too extreme.

 

[Steveo McNello]

Yeah it doesn't look too bad actually. Hardly noticeable.

All works in progress, all backgrounds by DBN:

Slim line on a 90

125

41 gallon fluval Osaka

For what it's worth, Aquaterra's slimline Mesa Rock on my 190g:

I think the tree stump backgrounds from both manufacturers fail. Its very difficult to mimic a tree coloration. If I had to pick one, I still think this AT is the best out there -

BUT, as soon as you add in real driftwood to the tanks decore/aquascape the artificial stump stands out like a sore thumb.

I need to see one in person but I likes!!!!

 

[Steveo McNello]

Haha yeah I rreeaaalllyyy would like to see one in person. I'm just nervous on dropping $200 I want to make sure I get the right one. I hope Pbass will look alright with the congo. That amazon tree one by DBN is awesome but out of the price range.
