Aquarium Background

[jr_83]

Not really sure where to put this thread. I apologize if it isn't in the right place. I'm trying to find a background for my 200g tank. I'm not a fan of the solid black/blue backing a on tanks, so my tank is being created w a clear back wall. I'm having a problem finding a background that is 24" tall. I'm looking for a reef/marine theme. If anyone has any decent leads or creative alternatives for back tank backings, I would greatly appreciate it.

i used a mirror car window tint. and i also never stuck it to the glass just taped it on the back glass. looking into the tank it gives endless reef effect as a mirror image.
here is what it looks like from the back.

I use street sign grade vinyl. have never had a problem with it peeling, bubbling or fading.

i have no clue about themed back grounds as i dont like the look of them so i never researched them.

you dont need a full 24" background if your using a sand bottom.

Find a local artist to paint a reef scene on there :)

I just wait a few months and let the coraline cover it.
