Universal Rocks 48-Inch by 24-Inch Rocky Flexible Aquarium Background

I was a little skeptical before buying this background. It was hard for me to imagine spending this much money on a background for my turtle tank but I'm glad I did. I have a 75 gallon aquarium and I had to cut it to fit. I just used a large scissors (you could also use a utility knife) and it wasn't terribly hard. It is flexible enough for me to bend it to get it around the brace in the middle of the tank and it is not very thick (maybe one inch) so it doesn't take up too much space. It looks like it does in the picture (except mine seems a little darker) and the way its molded makes it look like a real boulder or rock face. The back side is black rubber or plastic but the front feels like sandpaper. My turtles love this because they can climb the wall but if you have delicate fish you may want to be careful that they aren't forced to rub up against it. I am using the clips that came with and they do work but you can also use silicone if you want it permanently in place. I have had this for 6 months now and it has stood up to me scrubbing it with a scrub brush to get the algae off. The instructions say that you are supposed to power wash it before you put it in the tank but I used a scrub brush in my tub and lots of black grit comes off at first. I haven't seen any since and it didn't affect my fish or water. I will be buying another one of these when I get a larger tank because it looks realistic and seems like it will last forever.

This is by far the best addition I have made to my tanks. I don't understand why this isn't more popular and more stores carrying it. I have asked many people about it, and nobody has heard of it. If your tank is the same size as one of these it will take literally minutes to install it. It will be more difficult if you need to cut it because of the textured surface. I haven't noticed any algae growth, etc. on it. The only concern is smaller fish like neons getting behind it, but that was only a problem once when a small pleco got behind it and had trouble getting out. My aquariums now look VERY professional, almost like something you would see at a real aquarium. Another nice benefit is I don't have to put nearly as many plants in to make it look nice. Highly highly recommended.

but cutting it was cumbersome. Once I figured out that a sharp utility knife was best to cut this thing then it wasn't too bad. (Tried a few things) Only thing I didn't like was that it came with PVC pipe cut into 1/2 inch circles as "clips". (LAME) and did not appreciate having to glue it onto my tank. If that was going to be the case then they should've made the back flat for gluing purposes. Too many ridges in back made it difficult to figure out which would touch the aquarium and which wouldn't. All in all, after all the hard work it ended up looking lovely in my 75g aquarium.

One thing though.....if you're going to glue it, make sure you get your dimensions right and you glue ALL edges. Don't want you to end up with fish creeping into any missed nooks.
