O.K O.K.....where Can I get these backgrounds in the States? They really look amazing, nice set up! If the tank is for L#'s you'll want to monitor that Co2 pretty closely..... Again, nice set up.

hey alga, its a "back to nature" background.
here you can find al the backgrounds

but they cost a lot of money, im lucky because I got it for the half price because I work in a aquariumstore

That looks stunning!

I've seen a few of those backgrounds and they all look very cool and very realistic. I've seen the prices of them too, and that's the only downside.

Still, the rest of the tank looks really good too. I do love the 'natural simplicity' and it takes a lot of effort to stop yourself from puytting more and more items into the tank (well it does for me

)

I think that looks GORGEOUS. If I come back in another life as a captive plec, that would be my dream home. Just stunning. Well done you!

For some reason I can not get the URL to work. I've even tried searches for the product.... By the way, how much are they?

It's a very nice setup jeroentje

Try this link alga: http://www.backtonature.se/

They are gorgeous, very natural looking, but they take up too much space in the tank in my opinion.... they steal about 25 - 30% of your tanks volume, depending on how large tank you have of course. I had mine in a 250L which is way to small for a background like the Amazon type I had.

It ended it's life as terraces in the tank

Very nice setup!

I'm curious on the wood you have in the tank. Did you cut holes into it yourself? Some of the edges of the wood look sharp... I'm scared that some pleco or other fish may scrape themselves on the sharp edges. But that's my overpretectiveness

Beautiful tank!

yes, I made the holes
I will check if there are sharp pieces in the wood

Thanks for the reactions !!!

Hamish99,

Had not tried that one, the US store is actually in my home state of Michigan. I sent them an e-mail on availability. Thanks again-
