I have a tank with the 3D background in it. It's made of some kind of foam/resin type stuff... (it was a manufacturer prototype)and I'd like to offer something else to think about in regards to these 3D backgrounds and the materials used to make them... how do you clean them? I took down that tank when it was clear to me that the cyano bacteria growth was never going to let up, even with the use of antibiotics and other products meant to deal with it. There was just no way to get rid of it because the materials it was made from contributed to the growth of the cyano. It killed so many plants and was so much work and nothing helped. I was using a tootbrush daily to keep it clean and even that proved impossible. And in case anyone is wondering, it was a 75 gallon tank and fully planted with wisteria, hornwort, and various other plants... the only fish were a pair of juvenile angelfish about 2 inches in diameter each. The tank was running both a HOB rated for 100+ gallons as well as a canister filter, so it wasn't a matter of having a "dirty" tank that caused the issues. Because of the cyano problem I had to remove the fish after only a few weeks and even running with live plants and no fish, the problems were constant. I tried for months to get that tank in good shape enough to put fish into it but there was just nothing that worked. That tank is sitting in storage now waiting for me to set it back up as a dry tank for lizards or something non aquatic. It was/is a beautiful tank with a beautiful background... but it's useless in regards to fish.
