Designing a Milwaukee Brewers themed aquarium for my nephew. I would like to have the background be the inside of Miller Park Stadium. However, I am having a really hard time finding one that fits the tank. It is an average all-glass 5.5 gallon aquarium with dimensions 16x8x10.

Any idea on how I would go about getting such a thing? If not, I guess I'll just have to use a sky image, but was really hoping to do it up right!

Are you talking 3D background or just a picture to tape to the back? If a picture is all you need just find a hi-res image and take it to Kinkos or whoever.

Well, find the picture you like, and bring it on a flash drive or something to a printing place such as kinkos.

So, you need a background 16 inches long and 10 inches tall.

Get on Google Images and download the highest resolution photo you can find of the inside of a baseball stadium. (It might be hard to find one of Miller Park, but if I'm not mistaken baseball stadiums all look kind of similar from the inside...)

Take it to a copy center such as Staples, Office Depot, Office Max, or Kinkos. It will probably run you between $15-20. They may charge extra to electronically crop it to the size you need.

Thanks! I will try that. I hope they can laminate it too so it doesnt get damaged by any errant water when his parents clean the tank

I think most places can laminate it as well.
