Thanks man! Big fan of the 3D backgrounds. Yours looks great!

Beautiful natural background. Fish are awesome. How great you all share the interest in the hobby.🐠🐟🌿😄👍

Looks great!

Much better. That’s a really great improvement, good job guys!

I have that same tank with a black background. Now you got me thinking!!!! Looks great

What a show this three-dimensional rocky background, despite its low thickness it makes a high three-dimensionality. I also like the quick and easy setup system. Great job guys!

super cool love these backgrounds

Looks good great choice fellas

Deadly guys..... 👍👍👍

Another solid video from the Cichlid Bros. That background really ads to the aquarium

Waiting for that Merch! I miss mine. Had the exact same one but now that I have an acrylic tank I can't imagine getting a background in there.

Looks awesome I have a similar just smaller set up on my 75 gallon....Probably gonna instal a background as well...I’ve always liked the black painted background...but really love the realistic look of the rocks and should also make taking pics a lot easier🥳

Thanks! I agree. I like the look of black backgrounds usually, but this tank was a bit too dark with the black on black sand. Most of our other tanks have the plain black, but we might consider more 3D backgrounds after seeing how this one turned out

Cichlid Bros I’m on universal rocks right now peeking around🤣 I think it adds a lot of depth and realism to the look of the tank. For me the plus is also taking some of my bigger rocks out and replacing with some smaller ones like you got to add more skimming space as my haps and peacocks get bigger👌🏼 Great Video as usual👍🏼

Cubs and Cardinals fans in the same room.... ohh here we go....

Is there a way to install these with a canister filter setup? With the suction cups holding all the plumbing

How did it work with filter intake/output heaters etc?

Greeting👍👍

Without the use of the intake strainer suction cups being on the glass how do you keep the large intake strainer up close and secure when in front of the new background?

Go cubs

Already it looks great! I have a 125 also, who did you get it from again?

Hi, thanks for the videos. I plan on buying the same tank and stand combo and would like to order a 3d background before i purchase aquarium to have it ready to install before setting up. Can you guys tell me what the inside dimensions are on length and height? I reached out to Aqueon and they could not tell anything other than outside dimensions.

I just ordered this one as well but for my 210. Did the internal dimensions for your 125 and you ordering the 72”x24 fit fine?

Looks great! I have the same aquarium. What size background did you order for yours?

Hey Guys! Love your vids! How did you get the clips to work exactly and how did you get your FX6 to work with it? The way I see it there's nooo way to make this background fit behind the behemoth clip inside the tank that holds the tubes down for the FX6. Did y'all just have to cut it? This question is actually really holding me back from getting one of these lol.

Thanks for watching! I actually had to get a few clips from home depot to keep it up. The canister filter’s in and outputs fit easily over it though

quick question How do you keep yours from having a gap. I push mine against the back so it will be flushed against the back but always come back out some. I noticed my pleco like to go back there. hate if it get stuck one day. Thanks

Yeah I had the same issue. I tried my best to clamp it to the back, but siliconing is the only sure way to prevent that

What color is this background.

Hello!!! It's been a hot minute since I checked out what's new. You guys are doing awesome. I do want to know how that background is doing for ya though. How do you keep it clean? I imagine a lot of junk can build up behind it.

How long does it take a heater in tank to heat the water. Fluval Heater . 75 gallon tank just set up

What type of substrate is that? Looks nice...

What did you guys use specifically to hold the n background to staying flush against the glass once the tank was filled with water? I think you said clips. I have the same background. Where can I buy the clips from? Thank you (:
