Any idea's for backgrounds?

VERY EXPENSIVE and handmade. Think on the lines of $400.00 I think thats what the thread that originally mentioned it was. Check out their website. WOW!!!!!
 
i dont think anyone makes styrofoam ones. the Back to Nature brand ones cost serious cash and are made of plastic.

I believe their is only one store in the US that sells them, as "back to nature" is based in europe somewhere.
 
I also heard of people buying the flat natural rock patterned backgrounds and applying a thin film of oil between the glass and the background, so the rocky pattern is easily seen from the front of the aquarium. This I may try or the natural styrofoam. I love the rock type backgrounds.
 
Supposdly, if you buy them in pieces (modular) then they are cheaper. Im sure you can contact the european makers and order them.
 
the problem with the styrofoam backgrounds is that you need to coat it with an epoxy if you use concrete and concrete stain. if you dont the concrete will raise your Ph quite high.

I have made styrofoam backgrounds before, and i used them on African cichlid tanks, so there was no undesirable Ph shift.
 
They sell the smaller ones for 80.00 I see. Does the larger ones go for 400.00?? I swore I read that someplace....maybe for the bigger ones?
