  • Don't hesitate!! Buy it!!!
This background is amazing. Makes any tank look like a show piece. So real people will be amazed when they see it. I have a 75 gallon tank and it doesn't take up much room at all. At its largest spots it sticks out 5-6 inches. But that is ony two Spots and not taking up much room. It's looks crazy in the tank. So happy with my purchase. I couldn't seal it off completely with caulk keeping water from getting behind it and ended up adding holes for water flow behind it. There isn't much room behind to hide all filters and heaters (when putting flush against back but if you step out another inch or two you can. I didn't want to lose more tank space). See my pics. So happy with this purchase. I ended up buying matching rocks from them directly. Ill add the photos when I get them in the tank. Update: added a Rock package from universal rocks. Looks amazing. Very happy with my purchase ... show more

  • Snake terrarium
I used this for my 40 gal terrarium. I let it soak in the tub for two days and gave it a light scrub to get rid of the dust and handling debris. I marked my measurements on the back with a sharpie and used regular house hold scissors and knife to cut to size. I used aquarium clear caulk to glue in place. 4 stars on adhesion due to edges still leaving a gap even after using a heat gun to push down towards the glass. 4 stars on installation due to limited flexibility making the installation a bit long. 5 stars on presentation! It looks great, instructions are easy to follow and it was well packaged. ... show more

  • worth the money!
Absolutely amazing! I purchased the 48" background for my 55 gallon. Because it is much longer than the one in the photo, the outcroppings are different. It has a nice variety and looks very realistic. I have a middle brace and was able to get it into the aquarium pretty easily. I did silicon it in place which was easy. The have you tube videos with suggestions/tips. Both sides have reality sly flat sections that accommodate my canister filter. Although it is a little tricky with my aquarium canopy. The back side braces are where the filter should go. I've managed though and most folks don't use a canopy. I keep two musk turtles who love to hang out on the ledges and crawl up the back. They seem very happy and get around like little mountain climbers now. This was absolutely worth the money. I highly recommend it. ... show more

  • Looks Awesome
Requires a high pressure wash which took me 45min, not easy to put in and I went through every type of adhesive known to mankind to stick magnets to it to hold it up without success, but once installed it looks better than anything I have ever used in an aquarium. And its the looks we buy this for, yes? These are polyurea/polyurethane combinations. After epoxy, silicone, super glue and a few others failed to adhere epoxy covered magnets, I ended up essentially cementing the magnets into crevices using Oatey fixit stick. If it wont stick, trap it! ... show more

  • WASH BEFORE USE!
Im using this in my terrarium for my bearded dragon. He loves climbing on it. Im not giving 5 stars because it came warped in multiple areas. Took about 3 hours to get the edges nice and square using a blow torch and heavy items to weigh it down to help it form into place while it cools. Whatever material its made out of can take some serious heat and a open flame. Also spent a couple hours washing this thing in my shower. It was covered in a thin black film that doesnt come off skin to well. After two rinses on the high pressure setting i used a mild cleaner and a soft brush to help get into the pores a bit because i was still getting black stains on my fingers while handling. Im not sure if it could have been put in a fish tank. Im guessing it would make the first fill of water cloudy and possible kill the fish. MAKE SURE YOU WASH THE BACKGROUND A COUPLE TIMES BEFORE FITTING IT IN YOUR TANK. ESPECIALLY IN A TERRARIUM. ... show more

  • Looks great, has pin holes.
EDIT: SInce setting up my tank I have not been able to keep fish alive for long (almost a year since I set this up). My Corys seem to last the longest. All water parameters are fine. I have to believe it is the background causing the issue. I have driftwood in the tank as well which could be the issue but I would not think so. To be fair, I have not removed it and tried fish without it yet. I will report back once I do. I just wanted to warn others this may not be a good choice for a fish aquarium! Very sturdy and looks great in my tank. The only issue so far is that for a fish aquarium, you will have to find and silicon the pin holes that are throughout. I used a flashlight in the dark to find most but when I put water in the tank I still got water behind it. Since I have silicone this in my tank already I'm not sure what I can do to remedy this :( ... show more

  • From common tank to show tank
The media could not be loaded. This really set my tank off. Cant wait to order one for my big tank off there website. Def a go to and see what else they have and sizes. I'll be getting one for my 20 long as well. Only been in for a week but no water parameter issues so far so good. Did not come with holding brackets and I do not want to silicon for cleaning purposes so having trouble finding clamps for top that look appealing ... show more

  • Not the color in the picture
The media could not be loaded. Product IS amazing. I love how it looks and works and fits exactly as you can anticipate. BUT, if you're really picky about the color, go to Universal Rocks website and look at the LEDGE series, as the website's images depict the color accurately. I don't know where this picture on Amazon came from, but it is not even close. ... show more
