    Default backrounds

    where would be the best spot to hit up to get a backround for my 5foot 120g, nothing overly expensive. im looking into getting a rock'ish scenery for the back of my african tank. but i would like to hear your experiences on where is the cheapest, who has some nice backrounds. i thought about painting black or even putting a black backround but i feel i need something more exciting..

    Island Pets have a nice selection and you pay by the foot. We payed $25 for 4ftx24" for a rock background. It's very nice and has a 3D appearance.

    @donjaun, im tempted to go black for a clean simple look.. but i want to see if i like a scenic backround first, i would just save it, if your like any of use your gonna change, get new tanks and you wont have to get some more

    Wow. $25 for a sheet of background. I had that come with a used tank. I also spent $25 at Landscape Supply Centre for some nice flat rocks to stack up as a rock wall at the back to provide tons caves for my 25+ cichilids in a 90 Gallon.
