Aquarium backgrounds??

[imagirlgeek]

Does anyone know where I can find some backgrounds for large tanks?  Nothing fancy, just the kind you tape to the back.  Our 210, 125 and 75 need something, but I'm having a hard time finding backgrounds that are 18" to 24" tall that we like.  I prefer simple rock pics, not too bright or overpowering.  Am I making any sense?  I really don't like looking at the wall behind the aquarium.

I think most places carry them....City Pets, Fish Gallery, Aquarium World will probably have the most selection though.

If you're not in a hurry you can order online.  Dr's Foster and Smith have some precut ones and BigAl's  has up to a 32" height that you can order as many feet of as you need, a quantity of 6 would be 32X72. and so on.

Thanks ek!  I haven't looked at the backgrounds at City Pets, I'll have to check them out.  We've looked at a few of the LFS around here and the variety seems limited.  Are people using some other method to cover the backs of their tanks these days, or maybe I'm just not looking in the right places.  I haven't been to Aquarium World in ages...maybe I'll swing by there today.

Now THAT sounds like a plan!  I'm not in a hurry and ordering online is something I hadn't thought of.  Thanks szidlon!

I dont have backgrounds on most of my tanks, some of them have white printer paper taped together into a bigger sheet and cut to fit. I'll probably paint the backs with latex paint after i move.
