    I like the backdrop! Can you elaborate on the details of how you made it and how you plan on placing it in the tank?

    If was very difficult.....I busted out my credit card and hit the Buy button! Haha, I did not make it, I bought it. I thought about making it myself but thought that I would rather just buy and not deal with making it. It's a background made by Universal Backgrounds, a bit pricey if bought at retail, but I got a discount which made the decision to buy rather than make much easier.

    It's super flexible not like those foam backgrounds and can literally be rolled up, so inserting and placing into the tank with center braces is a breeze.

    well, i think it will look great!

    Yikes! I just saw the prices, yeah, I hope you got a discount! however, I still think it will give it a much more finished look and I can't wait to see it in action.

    I finally got around to cutting the background and siliconing it to the back. Sorry but the pic has some glare so might be a bit hard to see the background.

    Finally got a shot of the tank, canopy and stand. Still need to install the doors and paint it black.

    Majority of the plumbing is done. Pressure tested everything and amazingly no leaks on any of the joints on the first try :).
