Select the Right Size: Begin by choosing the appropriate size of Background Cork that best fits the dimensions of your tank. Our Background Cork is available in 6 lengths: 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 cm.
Customize to Fit: Our Background Cork is highly flexible and user-friendly. Using sharp knife or cutter, carefully cut the cork piece to your desired dimensions. This allows you to create a tailored fit for your enclosure, ensuring a seamless and visually pleasing backdrop.
Combine for Larger Tanks: For larger tanks or to achieve a more expansive background effect, multiple pieces of Background Cork can be combined. These pieces can be placed next to each other or slightly overlapped, depending on your design preference.
Conceal Unions Creatively: Unions between cork pieces can be creatively concealed by incorporating living plants into your setup. Consider adding lush greenery or epiphytic plants like mosses and ferns. Additionally, you can use extra pieces of cork, such as our cork branches, caves, or the lichen/moss branch, to mask any visible seams and create a natural, textured look.
Secure with Silicone (Optional): While our Background Cork can be placed securely within your tank, some users prefer to provide extra stability by applying a small amount of aquarium-safe silicone adhesive to the back of the cork. This ensures a secure structure and easy removal for future modifications or maintenance.
Enjoy Your Enhanced Habitat: Once your Background Cork is in place and any additional elements like plants or cork branches are added, step back and admire the transformed appearance of your terrarium, paludarium, or aquarium. Watch as your pets explore their new, enriched environment.
