tyler9999![]() Hobbyist Posts: 51 Kudos: 22 Votes: 1 Registered: 17-Oct-2007 | I was in one of the LFS and in some of thier display tanks they have a background that is made to look like a flat rock wall or the inside of a cave. It perked my interest and so I inquired. None of the staff on at the time knew what it was made of. I did get my hands on one piece that was out of the water in one tank and it felt like a concrete mix or something like that. Does anyone know what it is and if it is readily available and reasonably priced? |
