Beautiful tank and discus! Must have been a lot of work, but well worth it. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks.
Not really, it toke not so many hours to make this

That set up is amazing! I love the colors and fish that you chose. Where did you score such beautiful fish?

The RR is from a friend of mine, he had around 400-500 of them, sold many before a accident happened to his tank, We liked them so much so i bought them up from different people that had bought them from him, so some of them where harder to grow because different treat. the RC i had about 10 of them but just keept 2 females in the end.

Very cool!! I wanted to do one of those background but was afraid to try it. Now I have a tank full of fun and its to late to pull the trigger A+ on that tank!!

[rickztahone]

that tank looks so incredible, great work. the discus look just as great

[Kratz]

Okay, call me stupid......

I love that background, but have never heard of BTN before. What does that mean? Is this something you bought or made?

Just so happens that I bought a 150 gallon tank today that will become a show tank. I'm very interested in putting that kind of background in it

[seanyuki]

I think BTN background means Back To Nature background..

Here's a link to DIY BTN backgrounds.

BTN backgrounds are crazy expensive, you could buy 3 more 150s for the price of the background itself.

Thanks for the link. Natural types is what I'm all about when it comes to tanks.

I have a 90 gallon that I'm almost fanatical about keeping it as natural looking as possible.

The only two non natural looking things that you can see are the intake for the canister filter, and a small power head that I use for aeration. The return for the canister is a spray bar that is out of sight, and I use an inline heater on the canister filter.

When the plants mature and fill out some more, the intake and powerhead shouldn't be visible either.

I'm now seriously thinking about doing my own BTN background on the 150 thanks to this thread.

As Basshead said. they are mad expensive, but last forever. if you got the money they are all worth it...

About BTN so are they made in sweden from Swedish company but are exported to many countries, and i think you should find it USA as well.

BTN is very popular in sweden, see them all over the place and can buy them in many stores and lately there's a new line of them called slimline,
Slimline is approx. 10 mm thick and comes in two colours White Limestone and Red Gneiss.

And the best part,they are not so expensive

Maybe throw the company a e-mail and ask them where they delivery in USA or maybe a simply sponsor could arrange a bulk order to simply members.
