With the fish temporary placed in a 10G, I emptied and cleaned the 75G and placed the background in the aquarium for a quick dry fit to make sure filters, heater, and power head would fit and to see how it looked.

Dry fit complete. Notice white line approx. 1/3 of the way down and center in one of the layers...crack where the background tipped forward. Hence the bamboo skewer.

Heater and powerhead for circulation of heated water.

Completed with water and substrate. Substrate is black sand from Petco with a little gray as well for the speckles.

75 Gallon All-Glass Aquarium setup as a community tank. I stumbled upon this site researching filters. I instantly shifted my interest to backgrounds. Whole project took approx. 2 months following Glenn's step by step instructions in the DIY Project section above.
