Fake Rock Background

[moneyman123]

hi. well i want to build a fake rock background for my fish tank. i was wondering if anyone can build these or if anyone wants to set themselves a challenge by building one. i can pay someone to do this as i have no idea how to do this myself. if anyone can give me any advice or information about where i can get the polystyrene to make this, equipment i would need or any other materials i would find i would need to do this. the link below is what i would like as this would be perfect however i have a 6ft x 2ft x 2ft tank to do this in.my tank is a rena aqualife 600 Tank dimensions 201cm x 51cm x 71cm

are you not wanting to make one yourself because you dont have time or because you just dont what or how to make them......because if your willing to try making one yourself there is incredible abouts of info on you tube and all over the internet that are step by step tutorials on how to make them and everything that goes with making them...... just thought ide throw that out there....diy's are really fun...and i find iappreciate my tank more when i know i have made whats in there myself.

hi i'm looking at doing this my self have found several websites listing home made ones but would have thought that someone on here would know how to make them being the "diy" section i have also found people willing to make one but for my 48x18x18 tank it will cost about £120 but i want to try and make one cheaper but dont know where to start

Sorry to steal this thread - does anyone know if you can build in a slot for a heater in a styrofoam background and if the heater would still be effective enough

Cheers, Lee

This may help. My guide step by step maybe should be pinned somewhere else this question keeps being asked.
