land_lubber Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Does anyone know of someone that makes 3d aquarium backgrounds? I know juwel sells them but they are expensive and I am looking for something a little more 3d like the Back to Nature or Aquaterra ones.

F15hguy Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Aquaone makes them for reptile enclosures, but they do ok in fish tanks. or you could try making your own http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=29076 http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=39179 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
land_lubber Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 The aqua one ones look like crap. I have thought about making my own but I want it to look real :sml1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David R Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 So you want a nice realistic 3d background that looks better than the expensive Juwel ones for the price of the "crap" aquaone job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 you could try a whole pile of rocks and some silicone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, thats not what I said. I'm wanting a background that is more 3d than the Juwel ones without having to pay the $1000 NZD of the Back to Nature or Aquaterra ones. I have had a few of the Juwel rock backgrounds before and did like them but they aren't as 3d as I would like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmodeus Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I forked out for an Aquaterra one because the Juwel and Aquaone ones look like crap IMO So I ended up getting an Aquaterra one shipped here from Malta lol Blows the common locally available ones out of the water. From what Ive seen you either pay for a quality brand or spend the time and effort to make it yourself if you want somethign that looks good/realistic. I got this one. Not my tank but exactly the same background (Aquaterra Canyon rock Red) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
