Hi all!

Was thinking about printing off my own aquarium background for my 15 gal tank. There are sooooo many images on t'internet to choose from, just doing a "coral reef" search in Google images then filtering by size "Extra Large" gives a gazillion possibilities.

Was thinking something along these lines...

Well, if they will put them full-sized on their web page...

Was wondering if anybody has tried this? Any success? I was thinking I could use A4 glossy print paper in my photo printer, and span the image across a few pages to keep it continuous. Would it get wet and soggy very quickly? Hmmm, maybe I could laminate it at work...

Thanks!
Rich.

PS.. obviously I was thinking about a print to stick to the OUTSIDE of the tank...

Lucky you for having a laminator at work. I tried to go to Kinko's to laminate something and it was expensive. (IMHO) I think it is a good idea. You get the final say on what your background is - not some mysterious company. It can be something that brings you peace (or whatever feeling).

Keep us posted with piccys plz!

I have printed backdrops on most of my tanks and it works very well....I used high quality matte paper......

Thanks guys, added a link to the original post that I think might work quite well! Just need to find something that gets the thumbs up from the other half...
