Frequently Asked Questions
What are the backgrounds
made out of?
The backgrounds are
constructed from a hybrid industrial grade foam.
Is it safe for animals?
Yes, it is completely safe
for animals. It is non-toxic and ph neutral.
Can the backgrounds be cut
or trimmed?
Yes, they can be easily cut
or trimmed down to size. This can be done with any
handheld saw blade or even a utility blade.
Can I hide the
intake/outtake tubes and heaters?
Yes, but only on the Deluxe
3D models. This is because the Deluxe models have
more width, there is space behind the background to hide
just about anything you want.
How are the backgrounds
installed?
The backgrounds need to be
siliconed into place. Simply apply black silicone along
the edges of the background and softly press against the
walls of the tank or enclosure.
Allow 24 hours for the
silicone to dry and you are ready to fill.
For those with reptile
enclosures that do not want to silicone the background into place,
you can use Velcro strips to hold the background in
place.
How much space do the
backgrounds take up?
Depending on the style of
the background that you choose, the width will vary.
For our Slimline models, the
width ranges from 1-2 inches.

the width ranges from 6-12 inches.
