Bought it from atg-scape.com. It's a custom fiberglass background. I need to do some work to hide the seam but I'm very happy with the look.

 

[Scooterman]

nice, I like it.

WOW. That looks awesome!
love the background. I didnt see the seam till you said something.
some sweet wood in there too. Beautiful aquascaping!

I want to reaquascape mine now.
Move all the plants into it. Now I really want to go bigger with my FW tank too.

Looks great.
I really do want to setup a freshwater tank again.

Beautiful tank. I really like the contrast between the background, wood, and black sand. The green plants on the black sand look great.

Keith,
Looks great! I knew from the very first time we talked, that it would be a spectacular looking display. Good job, my friend! Jason

Thanks! I'm happy to make a build-thread but I'm afraid it may be somewhat disappointing because this will be a freshwater, heavily planted aquarium. I opted for a RR aquarium to make the aquarium as clean as possible.

I'm hoping your going with atleast a couple of discus?

I'm afraid my water is too harsh. Maybe some day but probably not for a while.
