RE: [AquaticLife] DIY 3D background with sandfall

 

I do have 3D backgrounds (but no pics). True that fry swim through the
grates but I just net them and flip them to the front. The edges are
siliconed but there is a space in back for equipment and grates to allow the
filters to intake water from the tank through the background.

Ava,

3-D rock backgrounds used to be made commercially. Photos of them can be
found in older aquarium magazines, which may help you out (if you can find
them). You may need to go up on eBay or Aqua-Bid to find these issues
though.
They do make for a great looking background appearance. One problem with
them though, was that occasionally, a small fish would find its way in back
of the background and couldn't get out. The only way to prevent that would
be to use a silicone sealant around the perimeter of the background where it

meets the back of the tank.
