Adhesive Backgrounds for Aquariums

So i am in the process of setting up a 75G sps dominate reef. I need some help getting a background. I am aware of these http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Produc...m?pcatid=19785

Just wondering if you guys know of any other sites i could get this background. I am going to apply it with a blue background and would like a lighter blue than the one from foster and smith.

Just go to a sign shop and by a vinyl sheet the dimensions that you need. then just spray the back of the aquarium with soapy water and squeegee it on. Best done when the aquarium is empty so that no soap gets in the water

I never thought of that. I been working on building my stand and canopy mostly. I have not purchased anything else except my GFO reactor, 2 eheims classics 250 running biological media in my sump. I have not finalized my sump design but might make room for a refugium since its a 40 gallon breeder. As far as the protein skimmer goes will buy a reef octopus most likely. I am still debating on my lighting system. I am thinking of getting 2 Ecotech Radions
