What do you use for a background?

EightFingers · Jul 23, 2015

I've been trying to find a cool background so my little guy can feel more secure. I've been reading it will help with relocation stress and all that, but my viv is so big I'm having trouble finding something nice that will fit.

Any suggestions will be welcome!

Hello,

I caught a 50% off sale on posters @ Hobby Lobby. The beauty of posters are you can find desert prints or prints that might match ur decor/style. You can always go to hobby lobby.com for a 40% off coupon for one regular merchandise.

Here's what I went with for my tank sides. I trimmed one poster down to fit the sides perfectly. Double sided tape secured it really well.

I have a rock wall on the back of the tank.

I had some photos from Australia printed in large format to use as a background.

Home Depot has a bunch of cheap peel-and-stick vinyl flooring tiles that work really well. Especially for a large enclosure because you can get as many as you need to cover the back and sides, then trim the excess with scissors. Here's one that's similar to what I use:

Thanks! That does look very nice. I was thinking the same thing but was unable to find any photos that would blow up to 16x16. Where did you find your photos?

I Took them myself when i was in adelaide. Ill share them with you if you'd like. Keep in mind it was about $50 to print them at a local print shop though.
