    Default DIY 3D Background Suggestions?

    Hey everyone,

    Im about to start designing a 3D background for my new 110 gallon FOWLR tank. The majority of designs seem to accommodate freshwater tanks in the sense that this type of project caters better to stone rockfaces and such. I was wondering if anyone has seen any designs that look more like reef rock or has any suggestions as to how to attain this look?
