Aquadecor backgrounds

Had anyone ever owned aquadecor slim background? And what are your thoughts on it?

And then I see these 2. I am having the hardest decision with this tank!

Always loved the aqua decor backgrounds! Don't have any experience with them though. I used to have a 3d background by another company and I loved it, was great for hiding equipment and really changing the entire feel of the aquarium.

The one limitations with 3d background is that once you set it up and silicon it down, it's a permanent background. So if you're the type of guy who likes to change your aquascape then you cant.

Also over time detritus or sand will find its way to the background and it may be difficult to clean or fit a syphon behind there.

While I'm at it, make sure you seal all holes/gaps especially near filter intakes/outflows etc as smaller fish/fry will find there way through the hole and it'll be a pain to try to catch them once they are behind the background =)

The 2 pics are rock zolid backgrounds. I wouldn't be siliconing it, just making sure tight fit and held in place with the out takes on top and sand on bottom. I think fry might be a problem, on my 125 I use gutter screen to cover intake holes, so between that and keeping a quad of gold head comps in there with them it should eliminate the fry

Both of those look awesome!

Think that aquadecor background upgrades the setup. But you quite a depth to the tank, like you can see in the photos. I think that 60-70 cm is the minimum.
