Here it is in the tank! I need some more plants to shove in there that are longer but it's completely perfect even makes the room feel different it's crazy. All the fish seem to be fine. Hiding now since they hate me. The water's still a bit cloudy but it's looking great. Got pics of the 90 background workin on now!

This has been a super fun project and is relatively easy!. I've got only 2 days in the 90 gallon tank. Mostly dry time. I'm now on the hunt for different colors. Can't wait for the 125. I really have to come up with something Phenomenal.

Looks really good. Looks like way to time consuming to do. 10/10

It took me 2 days on the 30 and the same for the ninety. The 125 is in process now! Only reason it took 2 days is the drying time.

Awesome background! I made one too for my 8' tank. Instead of pipe I just used flat sheets of white insulation and cement. It took around 1 week to do it all, phew! I attached a picture.

I think I might take you pipe idea and make a movable part that hides a filter in my tank. My next move is to add java moss to the cement where it has some imperfections, see pic ( http://www.walltanks.com/blog/java-moss ... tic-plant/ ).
