Pablo Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 What is the best way to deal with the empty cavity between the rear of contoured resin backgrounds and the back glass? I'm concerned about stagnant water, or it being a fish trap, or being a dark gloomy place where the baddies live? I will have to try and join three 600 x 450 mm backgrounds end to end and seal each one to the back glass and seal top and bottom, with silicone? is the two pot expanding foam an option to fill the cavity?? cut flat on the back and sealed with ...........???. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interfecus Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 You could place netting mesh over any holes in the background if you want to seal it off. I would personally consider dividing the cavity behind it in two with a water-tight barrier, making 'caves' in the background, putting in a pump or filter to move water from one side to the other, and filling both sides with filter media. This would provide extra filtration without being visible. I haven't done this myself, but have wanted to make a tank filtered like this for a while now. I would also use a sponge layer behind the background to make cleaning the 'filter' easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted September 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Thanks Intefecus, I'll try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
