FAQs

Are these 3D aquarium backgrounds safe for my fish?

Our fish tank backgrounds are made from aquarium-safe materials to ensure they maintain the best possible environment for all animals and live plants you may have in your tank. Every background is made with hardened resin or polystyrene and coated with several layers of protective materials that ensure they won’t scratch, chip, or leech anything into your water.

Do you offer different sizes of 3D fish tank backgrounds?

We offer several sizes of aquarium backgrounds for fish tanks, including full sheets of three-dimensional designs that can run the entire length of your tank and unique accents that look like tree trunks or rock walls to cover smaller portions of the tank walls. You can choose a single piece to sink into your aquarium or mix and match several different structures to blend natural-looking elements among your driftwood, rocks, and plants.

How do I install a 3D aquarium background in my tank?

Installing a 3D background into your tank requires a bit of preparation. Please follow these instructions to ensure best practices when introducing backgrounds into your aquarium:

  • Remove any existing decorations from the aquarium, including aquascaping rocks, driftwood, and artificial plants.
  • Use a sponge or cloth to wipe down the aquarium walls, removing any residue that may prevent strong adhesion.
  • Measure the wall where you want to place your background to ensure it will fit in the desired space.

Now it’s time to actually install your 3D aquarium background into the aquarium:

  1. Find an aquarium-safe adhesive that will work with your background
  2. If necessary, cut the background down to fit your aquarium more precisely
  3. Apply an even layer of adhesive to the back of the background
  4. Position your background where you want it and press firmly
  5. Many adhesives require a curing time, so allow the glue to fully dry
  6. After the adhesion time, gently test whether the background is secure
  7. Add substrate around the base of the background to help anchor
  8. Reintroduce all other decorations, making sure they look good with the new addition
  9. Slowly refill your aquarium to prevent disrupting decor
  10. Add your fish and monitor them to see how they’re responding to the new environment
