I will definitely be doing this some time!


EDIT: This one too: http://www.csd.net/~cgadd/aqua/46g_construct.htm

I've seen that first one before, and I like it, I think I'll do it sometime too.

That is amazing. Wish I was good enough at art to make something look that good.

Thanks for the link. I am really interested in doing something like that one day. :)

I figure that if you do a concrete background you can't use a HOB filter. I guess canister only right?

Unless you some how incorporate the HOB into the background... B)

I've read that you can use a HOB filter with the concrete background.

I've seen some pretty intricate setups for incorporating HOB filters into styrofoam backgrounds. You just have to have a way for water to be sucked behind the background, and then have it flow over the top. It's a great way to hide all of your equipment, such as heaters, filters and what not.
