    Default Face lift to an old tank

    So I place a background to my 150g tall, Uniaquarium style, no more ugly cables and heaters showing, Love this tank is excellent for Discus, specifically wilds.

    Love it, Julian !

    Discus will look spectacular in it - what kind of set-up are you planning, if any ?

    Yes Patty
    Is actually from a fence panel call Slimteck at Home Depot on line , it come in several colors, Brown, Beige , and Grey . I split it in the middle as is a fence panel therefore is double, a DIY project of is own , but worth it as a background for this size of tank is double the price of the fence panel.
    I did a test with the plastic for two weeks with no ill effects to the fish, so I recommend it. as is sturdy than many backgrounds. I could use the fence panel as it comes , but thought water will lodge in the middle an create anaerobic conditions, so better safe than sorry.
