3D background

[M.P.C]

If you are creative and have a bit of time you can make a really awesome one yourself. There are a bunch of youtube videos that describe how to carve them out of Styrofoam. Seems pretty easy, you just cut out and file down the foam to look how you want, then color with paint or other supplies. I was surprised how they turned out.

This is what im gonna be doing soon... Get a couple cans of the great stuff expanding foam and im gonna apply a nice generous layer to the back and 2 sides of my tank... Shape, smooth out and paint... Of couse ill seperate it into 3 pieces so they can be removed for cleaning purposes. One of pur members has made i think 5 of these backgrounds and they all looked great

What type of paint is safe, and what can I use to adhere it to the tank?
