like title says
lookin for a background 2 feet by 8 feet.
if you know of more then one place post them all please.
hoping i can pick from more then one or 2 designs.
thanks in advance.

thought about tape or silicone drops here and there.

Why not a nice, appealing, ocean blue/jet black back ground? I personally find all the rock, plant, wood etc pictured backgrounds disrupting and unattractive.

I used a 8'x2' piece of cardboard..painted it black. looks good.

Pangea ( Danish company ) and "Back to Nature" makes backgrounds in thoose sizes... but they are really expensive.
Its thoose thick backgrounds made out of epoxy and hand painted.

Look in the spray paint section under "Gloss Black"

ha ha I agree with ^^^ Its a really cheap way to keep people focused on your tank and not a poster taped behind it.

Petco and Petsmart have rolls of 24" backgrounds by the foot. They are reversable. I think I have seen blue/lighblue, black/lightblue, FW deco/Light blue, and SW deco, light blue.

ya i figured i could get blue and black.
i have decor backing and i have some black backing on other tanks.
both nice but i think 8x2 black or blue will be to much.

thought about it but cardboard + water =

also thought about a roll of wallpaper as background.

I use something thats called " wind cardboard" ( directly translated from danish, dont know the english term)
When we frame wooden structures in Denmark we wrap this around on the outside of the framing ... to stop weather/wind from blowing throught the house.
Basicly its very dureable cardboard that wont soak water and is allmost impossible rip with your bare hands.
Its black with some structure to it.... looks very nice
