I'm looking for info on how to make your own 3D backround, out of styrofoam
or whatever?
thanks


The basic idea is get a big block of foam, extruede or expanded. Sculpt
with a knife or propane torch. Coat with marine safe epoxy resin, glue
into tank.

The book "The Living Aquarium" and the "Todays Aquarium" (Dupla)
magazines from the 80's have illustrated instructions. But that's
it in a nutshell.
