Aquarium backgrounds

Do you guys have any ideas how I can make my cage look a little nicer? I was thinking of getting a background but I want to get a cool looking one and haven't found a very big selection. I just would like to hide those nasty looking wires with something. Any suggestions would be great as I am trying to set-up a nice looking (and funcitonal) display.
you guys rock!

I was looking at the backgrounds at Petco the other day and they didn't have much of a seclection, and only one that wasn't an underwater scene -- it was black on one side, blue on the other. I'd bet, though, that if you went to a fish specialty shop you could probably find a bigger selection. I know I've seen forest scenes before. If nothing else, if the aquarium isn't too big, you could use book covers, which have a pretty wide variety of designs.

I ended up with a blue/black background as the petstore didn't have any that weren't aquatic. I recommend using them since after I installed it (covered back and one side) Xaero comes out more and seems to feel less "displayed". I use the blue side, but I would have preferred a nice outdoor scene.

haha, get an aquatic one. that would be hilarious!
but seriosuly now...
they make desert backround whch look pretty cool. ive seen them in picture of people cages online. never in a petstore... try searchin around online. i checked it out for a few seconds and found these:

LOL...that would be funny to put an aquatic one up. I got mine at Petco...it's aquatic on one side and a desert scene on the other. It's set up on Caesar's cage, which you can see in my gallery if you want. I want to find another one for our new beardie's cage...but I don't want it to be an exact duplicate of Caesars......although, I'll take what I can get.

Hehe - our stores have those ones you buy by the foot - some of them have desert/jungle/grassland scenes and all are dual-sided. Since the Blood's cage is nearest the window i plopped the ever-attractive carboard wrap around it.

The ones available around here look kinda like this:

but by far the most kickass prices I have seen (bulbs, sphagnum, hides et al) are here:

We order from them pretty regularly rather than pay the INSANE retail markup.

I have an aqautic background on my cage. It really seems to brighten up the cage and my snakes seem to like it. I think thats where they get the likeing for climbing

Hey Smulkin, that last link was great. I love this:
