Description: I made my own background with Styrofoam and cement. Although it doesn't look as neat & real as the "Back to nature" background, it does a fantastic job at a very reasonable price. (Home Depot $20, Non-toxic PU foam is a very good material to build a 3D background) It looked like something fun to do and I had not much money. The lights are just standard aquarium lights plus a standard filter. I got the stones from our lake. Please leave your comments; I’m really interested to know what you think because I am new in the aquarium world.
Advice: patience!
Fish Kept: African Cichlids
Corals/Plants: fake plants
Tank Size: 55 gallons
About Yourself: I am new in the aquarium world.
