Use 3D fish tank background in Discus tank. 3D fish tank backgrounds are awesome and make the aquarium look great. But they are only meant for large fish tanks because the protruding background will eat into some space. Basically what you need is some styrofoam, silicone glue, concrete and lots of creativity to DIY a 3D background. The DS3231 RTC in this project acts as a timer for the LED lighting in our aquarium. This module has four pins that we will be using: SCL, SDA, VCC, and GND, all of which can be directly wired to our Arduino Pro Micro. SCL to 3 on Arduino. SDA to 2 on Arduino. VCC to 5V on Arduino. This is the most unique 3D background I currently make and it's one of the more popular designs. All colors look good, but I feel the white and the grey capture the original rock's look the best. Red can make a really neat red slate look if the proper red soil/sand is used with it. I once saw a background made of thick styrofoam attached outside the aquarium. The artist used ordinary spray paint to burn shapes into the foam. Your project sounds more sophisticated, and I'm looking forward to the pictures. Please be careful to avoid putting toxic materials into the aquarium. Once cut to size we put a reasonable amount of adhesive (Gold Label Pond Sealant) on to the top edge and back of the 3D background. This was then slowly lowered in to the water and pressed against the glass on the right hand side of the tank. Rocks were then pushed up against the background within the tank and left there whilst the adhesive cured. Due to the high demand for 3D backgrounds for aquariums made by Juwel ®, we present sets made especially for these aquariums. These backgrounds have filter covers that fit perfectly in every Juwel® aquarium. Considering the measurements are standard, the production of these backgrounds will take not more than five business days. Product details.

Customer Use the rubbing alcohol and a towel to clean the pane of glass that you wish to paint. The rubbing alcohol will remove any dirt and grease so that the paint will adhere properly. The next step is to cover all areas of the tank that you wish not to be painted. Cover it all, and make sure to cover the open end so that no paint gets inside the tank.
