And my multi tank has a 3D background, which never shows up in photos as spectacularly as it does in real life, but here's a glimpse anyway: Last edited by LittleMousling at 29-Jun-2005 00:00[/font] -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com!

If you had a tank that was basically large rocks and no plants there have been some excellent backings made. Dr Bonke has possible the best I have ever seen.
