Where can you get background that looks like rock/slate

[prostreet69camaro]

Where is Houston can you get a background for 180 gallon tank. I assume I need 24" tall background. Not really looking for a 3D background.

I am looking for one that will match my rocks.

If someone has a link to where to buy it that would help also.

Here is a picture of my tank.

Just paint it whatever color you like or use some poster board or fabric. Another option is building a rock wall and using silicone to 'glue' them together. Just lay out your dimensions and build it on a board, allow it to dry and put it in the tank.

Yes I read a how to on building a 3D background using styrofoam and gluing pieces together to make rocks. It looked awesome. I guess I am lazy and want the easy way out. I should have painted the back when I put it together but its to close to the wall to paint it now.

Fabric and posterboards are another easy choice.

Those 3d rock backgrounds will be on the pricey side for sure and they are best siliconed in.
You can buy a backing that goes on the outside of the tank , those look good depending your scape and how the scheme looks on the sheet. Usually they are two sided. I do however like to use a product designed to adhere those to tanks. Its like 5.00 and make a huge difference. To apply use a window squeegee to get bubbles out. If you need help shoot me a pm !

I personally like the 3d backgrounds. or just a painted background.

Thats kinds what I was looking for. I already have the paper one now but looking for ones with rocks to kinda match what I have in the tank. I saw the adhesive on Ebay with the backgrounds but did not see any I like.

So you roll on the adhesive then apply to the aquarium. The bottles say it will do a 70 gallon tank. So I would probably need 3 bottles.

Its more of an oily liquid that you spread and then use a squeegee to get out the bubbles. Its fish safe stuff tho. If u do a paper type background this stuff is a must. Easy to use just gotta pick ur one u like.
