Do they make these?

Do they make these rock looking background things for a 50-55 gallon tank?

Example:

I know this tank comes with it already on there but was just owndering if someone could help me out.

Thnx.

make it yourself!
if you use expanding foam, silicone sealant and that coco husk stuff, you can make yourself a great background

I think you may be able to make the rock form with chicken wire then take some of the foam that is used for insulating around pipes( it is liquid in a can at home depot) then spray it on the chicken wire and it will expand.. You can then trim it it a razor blade/sand paper to your desired look once it is dried. Then spray with you favorite color scheme

never tried it but dont see why it wouldnt work.

hope this helps

Yes, they do make them

I have also seen more reptile friendly ones at my local reptile show (in Indy)...so if you don't want to build one you will need to look around for them.

Thanks guys.

Just found this too.

I looked on Exo Terra's site and they said they are easily customizable. They cut easy with a razor blade.

This could give some spice to my tank I think.

Just purchased 2 of these.

The 18x24 ones.

I will need to cut them though to fit.

Anyone know of a site with directions for a DIY background? I'm having trouble finding something decisive.

I saw something one time before. I did find this.

Google "styrofoam and silicone sealant"

They come premade also....

Check out www.blackjungle.com they have quite a few.
