How do you cut a 3D aquarium background?
You can easily cut a 3D aquarium background with a hacksaw for wood (preferably fine-toothed). If you need to cut a background in 2 or 3 pieces to adjust it to the tank with cross braces, you can cut it with a fine saw and then join the parts together with aquarium silicone.
Can you make your own aquarium background?
Alternatively, you can create your own aquarium background simply by placing a row of tall aquatic plants (whether real or plastic) in the back of the tank. This will give a more natural look than using background paper, and it gives fish more places to explore and hide — a win-win!
Does aquarium backgrounds go inside outside?
Aquarium backgrounds give some oomph to your setup, making your tank look bigger and fuller, without taking up valuable space. You can add a backdrop on the outside of your tank at any time, whether the tank is full or empty. But if you prefer to place the image on the inside of the tank, it’ll take some work.
Do fish like black background?
Black is my number one choice. Most fishes display their best colors with a black background. For some reason, when the tank background is dark, the colors of the fishes seem to be enhanced. Their colors are more vivid and they seem to stand out from the plain dark background.
What can I use as a background for fish tank?
The most popular is a photo backdrop which is usually printed on a large paper that you tape to the back of your fish tank, though solid color or patterned backgrounds are available, too. Some aquarists build a 3D background out of pet-safe aquarium rocks and plants as well.
