Still deciding on an Aquarium Backdrop

Posted in Upgrades & Updates on Apr 06, 2008

Hmm, what should I put back there? I don’t want just a standard “looks like the ocean, yo” type of background. I don’t want to mimic a lush underwater plant backdrop. I don’t want standard blue, that looked like crap after a while.

I’m thinking of going with some unique looking posters or something. I do have some weird posters out in my garage from past days of decorating dorm rooms and bedrooms during college and stuff. I don’t think any of those would be that fun.

I think I need to do something like find some unique artwork that is printed onto some posters. The artwork should be abstract and look good even with a little bit of algae that needs to be scraped off the glass right in front of it. I probably don’t want any solid colors. I need a busy background, once again to mask some of the stuff that gets on the glass every now and then.

I have a Monty Python ministry of silly walks poster, for example. Something like that would look funny as a backdrop on an aquarium. Plus I like the idea of black/white with no colors for the aquarium backdrop, that could be kinda fun.

I gotta think about this one a bit more, and then probably just stop out somewhere where a bunch of funky looking posters can be purchased. I wouldn’t mind changing my fish tank background on a frequent basis just to keep it fresh. Fun stuff.

    Life is hard when you gotta maintain an aquarium. Or something like that. Keeping an aquarium keeps you on your toes. It's fun.
