Building a 3D ROCK BACKGROUND for your aquarium

Today I am going to build a 3d diy aquarium background/backdrop carved from styrofoam insulation and paint. A cool diy craft for any aquarium, terrarium or fish enthusiast. This cost about $30 cad to build.
The background does not go in the fish tank, it is placed directly behind but will give the appearance that it is in the tank. The materials used are not fish safe so do not place directly in the water.

Wow, now this is awesome and looks so real. My only worry would be if that was sand you used for texture it may scratch the glass. I'm definitely wanting one of these on my tank. Good job buddy.

@DrewBuildsStuff 3 года назад
Thanks! Never really though about the sand scratching it, there is only a few contact points so you could spend the extra time to ensure no sand is touching.

This is the best 3-D background build I've seen so far! I love that you aren't taking up space inside the aquarium or dealing with cement like the others do. Plus you have the flexibility to swap it out for different looks whenever you want. I'll definitely have to try this method. 😀

Once you put it behind the tank it suddenly became so real looking, great job. Can you maybe make a pinned comment for everyone asking about supplies used? You are so incredibly talented, you could be selling your work…but then I guess that’s what it becomes work, not enjoyment.

First off, really good craftsmanship, this video was impressive. Just curious if you think a styrofoam background like this can be put directly in the tank? I have paint on the back of my tank so this won't really work for me. Obviously if it is going in the tank I would use non-toxic paint and glue, and omit the little plant flourishes. For the styrofoam alone, how well do you think it would hold up in a tank (for a turtle, who is much less sensitive to pH than fish).
@DrewBuildsStuff
@DrewBuildsStuff 2 года назад
I can’t say I have tried it directly in the tank with fish or even in the water. I would think one of the concerns would be any of the material or styrofoam coming loose and the turtle eating it.
@SugaryHobgoblin
@SugaryHobgoblin 2 года назад
@@DrewBuildsStuff you would be right, he is absolutely the type to eat the styrofoam. I'll probably have to cement it and do things the hard way. Oh well, thanks for the video and the response!

Try xps foam insulation. Its a lot more rigid than regular styrofoam and doesnt have the little beads that come off easily. From what I’ve seen a lot of people use that in aquariums and silicone it into place
