    this is a great idea. after watching your vid i set out and made my own for my 30 gallon african cichlid tank, complete with caves and crawlspaces. it looks amazing and the fish love it.

    Hands down one of the best DIY 3d Aquarium Background vids on youtube. The only thing is that i wish you would have talked through it because you can always give more info that away. But still awesome vid thanks so much for posting it. I've been waiting on someone to finally do it. Thanks

    instead of draining the tank 8 times can you use a hose and spray it in the yard? i have a 100 gallon aquarium and it takes foreever to drain.

    nice background! so, the concrete doesnt make dangeorus gasses or something for the fish? what kind of silicone are u using? i live in norway, and im not an expert, so ive never heard of "GE 1" .. :) thanks for your answer!

  • @ornumdivad
    @ornumdivad 16 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    doesnt the concrete continue to leech stuff into the water raising the ph? that might be ok for cichlids but what about fish that like a low ph? have you ever sealed them with something like yacht varnish to stop this happening?

    Oh.. but when u used greatstuff, did you sand it off and put cement on it or did u just left it as is? I'm planning to do the same thing you did but add some great stuff..

  • @Cichlidsguy1234
    @Cichlidsguy1234 15 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @pappy15445
    @pappy15445 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    Looks great and being a model railroader i am very familiar with the styrofoam sheets...I want to be sure I am clear on a couple things.
    The ph drops stop after the initial 8 or so drain and fills right?
    The concrete colorings-You are positive they are fish safe?

  • @ollieflp
    @ollieflp 15 ปีที่แล้ว +2

  • @Guy23HD
    @Guy23HD 16 ปีที่แล้ว
