BACKGROUND SET UP EXAMPLES

NATURE 1

This is a classic background which covers only the back glass of the aquarium and has one chamber for the suction pipe and heater. The chamber can be placed in the left or right hand corner. The heater and suction pipe should be placed together in the chamber, to avoid a difference in temperature between the chamber and the rest of the aquarium. Water enters the chamber through a space between the glass and the background. This entrance goes all the way from top to bottom and is covered with a plastic transparent mesh that stops smaller fish entering the chamber. Standard dimensions of chambers are 8x8cm or 10x10cm. The freshwater outtake is to be placed over the background.

NATURE 2

A standard background covering the back wall, with a chamber where the suction pipe and heater can be placed. The chamber will be situated according to the position of your filter. The heater and suction pipe should be placed together in the chamber, to avoid a difference in temperature between the chamber and the rest of the aquarium. Water enters the chamber through natural looking cracks on the background. Standard dimensions of chambers are 8x8cm or 10x10cm. The freshwater outtake is to be placed over the background.

NATURE 3

This background covers the back wall and one of the sides (left or right). The chamber for suction pipe and heater is located in the corner. The heater and suction pipe should be placed together in the chamber, to avoid a difference in temperature between the chamber and the rest of the aquarium. Water enters the chamber through natural looking cracks on the background. This background design is perfect for aquariums placed next to a wall.

NATURE 4

This type of background covers the back glass and both sides, leaving the inside of the aquarium viewable only through the front glass. Equipment (heater and suction pipes) are hidden in 2 chambers, one in each corner. Heater and suction pipe should be placed together in a chamber, to avoid difference in temperature between the chamber and the rest of the aquarium. Water enters the chambers through naturally looking cracks on the background. Outlets with fresh water are placed over the background. This design is perfect for aquariums mounted in a wall.

NATURE 5

This example shows an F model placed in the middle of an aquarium. Filters or chambers, for the suction pipe and heater, are on one or both sides. The background can be used as a filter cover. Water enters the filters (or chambers) through natural looking cracks on the background. This design is perfect for aquariums placed between two rooms.

NATURE 6

This example shows a different setup with an F model. The back glass is covered with a black or navy blue foil and the background only partially covers the glass, in order to maximize the effect of depth. One or two chambers are usually placed in corners, and water enters through a space between the glass and the background. This space is covered with a plastic transparent mesh that stops smaller fish entering the chamber.

NATURE 7

This design is very similar to Nature 6 with the background covering not only the back glass, but one or both sides as well. The sides are also covered with black or navy blue foil. Chambers are placed in corners and water enters through natural looking cracks on the background. This design accentuates the effect of depth and is perfect for aquariums mounted in a wall.

NATURE 8

With this background you can cover your internal filter, regardless of its location in the aquarium. Depending on the filter type, we create cracks and entrances for the water. If you have an overflow filter system we will make the background lower in this area, to allow the water to flow into it from the top.

NATURE 9

This is a classic background covering the back glass of the aquarium, with one chamber for equipment (heater and suction pipe). This setup is ideal if you have a stream pump and want to cover it as well. This can be done by placing a rock in front of it. The pump remains accessible and can be removed whenever required. You can also change its location and the direction of the water flow.
