In the YouTube description he says it is an Aqua-maniac 3d background. Looks like they have some nice stuff.

Thank you everyone for the great comments.
The background is distributed here in the UK by Aqua-maniac, there is a US distributer but I can't remember their name atm but I'll try and find it and let you know. It is heavy, rigid and made from fibreglass. The quality and detail is incredible, turn a nice display tank into proper exhibit!
Md. Shafiqual Alam, I change a quarter of my tank every day. I use HMA water (Scotland has excellent quality water so no need for RO water) and store it in a 100 litre water butt, where it is aerated and heated. I have made up my own hoses, taps and connectors kits for siphoning out and filling back up again which makes w/c very easy, quick and I don't even get my finger tips wet :)
My tank is filtered by a Fluval FX6, I use Eco-lamps KR-90FW LED lights (full spectrum, fully controllable & freshwater specific), these are the best lights I have ever used! In tank circulation with a Tunze nanostream 6045 adjusted to half strength output. I use 2 x Fluval E-series 200w heaters.
For my hardscape I used Manzanita branches, Cornish bogwood, silver sand and locally found smooth rocks.
The livestock consists of - various strains of Discus, Cardinal tetras, Rummy nose tetras, Bleeding heart tetras, Glowlight tetras, Marble Hatchets, Otocinclus & various Corys.
