Default Custom backing inside the tank?

Has anyone seen the custom aquarium backing online that goes inside of your tank and looks like tree roots(Think they are made out of foam material)?

Anyone have any experience with these and how much they cost?

Default custom backing

We have talked to them about these they are foam material but very expensive for foam backing in our opinion. Most people use expanding foam and do their own cause mostly the backing is covered up with planters and wood etc. Just our thoughts.

ive seen lots of different stuff come through the LPS, and numerous other things online. the ones ive seen that i actually think look good enough to put into one of my tanks are made from epoxy resins. they are sweet looking, but take a lot of cash and time to build, therefore, they command a really high price. the ones made of foam are affordable, but you can do something more custom (and better looking IMO) for much less money.

I agree with landon. I like them for aqariums where fine detail is obscured by water, and I dont use live plants in my tanks. IMO there are so many inexspensive background materials that can be used to male beautiful and very personal environments its just not worth the money. This is however only an opinion. every one must do acording to thier own vision and budget.
