    Default Where can I get light blue color aquarium background ?

    I am planning to convert one of my older reef tank in to a discus grow-out tank. Its a nice 50 gallon tank with sump and everything. But the problem is the black ground that it currently has. Reef tanks in general has black ground. I want to use light blue colored vinyl to cover the black ground from inside of the tank. Have been searching amazon and ebay for the correct shade of vinyl background, but yet to find any.
    I see most of your tanks use light blue colored backgrounds. Can you please point me to the place where I can get one?

    Thank you

    Not sure what you can do. But the standard blue background mat not be submergable. I have a black backgroung on a 125 and covered it with this gray background.39C61D92-6FF1-45E2-AD56-93EA83179984.jpg

    Beautiful tank Tom!
    I am thinking of DIY options to get a blue background on my old tank. Thinking if I should stick "waterproof" wallpapers that they use in bathrooms.
    Thank you,

    I just paint mine. Stone Creations on the bottom to give it a sandy look, and the blue of my choice on the sides...
