20G 3D Background Project
- Thread starter MikenDanielle
- Start date
It borke into 8 main peices and millions of little tiny peices of styrofoam so Its now resting int he garbage where it belongs. Should of listened to your advice all along. O'well next time!
Live and learn man, But dont give up, go get some of the pink stuff like I used and do it again(this will not turn into thousands of tiny little balls, or break so easily/messily)
if I gave up every project I had ever started, simply because the first go went bad, then I would never achieve anything.
This background of mine, is a prototype.... a learning process. It looks good, and seems to have stopped "peeling", and everything I learned from this time, will be applied when I make a new one, and I will make a new one.

Oh i am planning on making a new one, just not right now. Im going to get this tank cycled and filled with fish and then begin working on a 100+ Gallon project that should take a good solid year or so, plenty of research to be done. All in all im happy with the experience and what I learned and would never never let an obsure setback keep me anything. Glad to hear yours taking a turn for better, can;t wait to see it filled with fish!
hey emo, check out my thread in my sig, DIY background.
You can see what was done to protect the fish from the BG.

Yeah I can relate, made a background for my 100g, concrete kept cracking due to the instability of the base, finally finished it, and then DROPPED IT!!! So, my tank has river rocks and shale in it with about 50 juvy's (holding them till they are big enough to go to the LFS.) So another background another time, oh well didn't really like it anyways.
Had many bright ideas go horribly wrong. I feel for ya. Good part is you worked out the bugs now and the next background will be spectacular!
