Idea for background/cover

[Moogled]

If you have the extra money to toss around, you can consider making a reef rock wall.

Ziptie small chunks of rock to light diffuser to create a dramatric background.

Russ (rusty) is working on setting up his tank again after the move and built a rock wall out of aragacrete. It looks awesome! I'll make sure he posts pics of it.

cichlid-forum.com has some examples of some crazy backgrounds in their DIY section, have a look. will probably give some ideas.

Thanks for the ideas, Muck I tried the aragacrete route with my 155 gallon and I must have done something wrong, everything was to brittle to work with. I'd love to make it work as I'd like to make tables but unless someone local can show me what I did wrong I think I'll avoid it.
Moogled, thanks that's a good idea, that may be a better idea than the one I had. I could zip tie smaller bits of rock all over.
Kwirky thanks I'll be looking at that tomorrow.

Here's a pic of my buddies 90 gallon with a foam wall. The possibilities are endless when using this stuff, you can make caves, integrate plumbing into the wall and paint it whatever color you want.

OH WOW

That looks awsome, canprobaly make some cool as ledges with that, and hide some plumbing as well
