Brandxn Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Recently purchased an aquarium background from Universal Rocks after watching an Aquarium Co-Op video and I’m curious as to what is the best method to install it. This is my first 3D in tank background I’ve had and want to make this as smooth of an install as possible. Is there an in water silicone/adhesive paste that would work well where I don’t have to drain the tank? Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 They have an installation video on their site. https://www.universalrocks.com/videos/how-to-install-a-3d-aquarium-background?gad_source=2&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5urYqpj1hAMVAEt_AB051AUyEAAYASAAEgKoSfD_BwE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandxn Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 They have clips yes but I don’t want to look at black clips along the background. I’m hoping for a silicone method without draining my entire tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mynameisnobody Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Silicone will need time to cure. I wouldn’t add it to water unless it’s cured out of water for at least 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) Yeah; it seems like if you're going to do the silicone method; it's probably best to do that when you start the tank up. @Zenzo is probably a good one to chime in, as he has a good amount of experience. I looked through his background videos, but didn't see a full tutorial for silicone. Edited March 15 by Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
