Anyone Have Any of These?

[Afreakin]

These are some of the nicest I've seen and very reasonable. Thinking of doing one of my show tanks.

What are the fish safe Silicones on the market??? Isn't is anyone without Mold and Mildew resistance?

Check my 325g link below. It was custom made as an overflow chamber.

I used GE silicon I's but I believe there are different "silicon I". Looking back I would just get the AGA aquarium silicon. Not worth the risk of saving the extra $10. Once your background is glued in it will be very difficult to remove.

I also used epoxy since my tank is acrylic and silicon does not stick to acrylic too good.

This link show more of the background.

very cool, I'm itchin' to do this.

Need to empty a tank first, only problem is that I have no empty tanks.:sad-smiley-002::confused3:

These look really nice just keep in mind this one is very similar to the one i have in thatcit is 5-6" in depth and takes up A LOTTTT of precious swimming room. I have an aquaterra malwai bg. It is nice but ill reiterate it cuts ur stock list in half.

One really nice one they have is less than 3" deep :beerchug:

Mine is about 1 inch thick. It's easy to cut with a saw.

They are easy to cut but I though i would just give u a heads up on how muchnroom they take. 3" one probably would be better it just depends on how many fish you want in your tank. Sometimes it is also hard to match rocks to the bg but when algae grows it blends better.

I know! Your tanks look awesome and it made me want to do it. I have really get geared up and find a place to put my fish for a few days.

Rob, you can always keep your fish at my house for a few days or forever !!!!!!!!!!!!! :neener::neener::neener:

[m1ke715m]

told you.. all you gota do is have 1 empty tank and just keep moving fish into the empty tank.. drain their tank.. dry.. silicone the background... then wait.. lots of waiting lol.. it took me months to do all my tanks it was a nightmare but totally worth it in the end.. you see i havent put backgrounds in the newer tanks thou.. and i dont plan on it was considering doing one but i didnt really wanna lose any space in that tank.. it does kinda bug me that tank doesnt look as nice as the others thou
