I loved that old one, a pity the tank leaked. BUT, like you said each time you do it, you do a better one. Can't wait to see this next one.

dang dude that sux, can't wait to see the new one.
Quick question, has the concrete ever chipped off any of the backgrounds u built??? I built one a month ago for my 10gl feeder tank (it was my first attempt at a DIY background), and I don't know if it was the concrete or the styrofoam I used, but after I built it, small pieces kept chipping off every time I touched it.

yes, concrete chipped and fell apart on some of my older backgrounds.
hydrolic cement didnt work well either. i put on thick coats on both of them, but they still didnt work out that well.

i found the cement i used on this one was the best yet, and im going to use it again. I only picked up the styrofoam so far though.

this tank sprung a leak last month, and the manufacturer replaced it free of cost, but i wanted to keep the background, while removing it, i broke most of the right hand side in half! instead of fixing it, i decieded to toss it and will be starting a new one shortly.

Will you be posting the new one on this same thread or start a new one?
