Great depth in instructions. Great video I'm doing my tanks as soon as I can.Thanks Travis for the best idea I have see in awhile!
Used your tutorial and created the non-frosted version on my 75 gallon. It looks great and was very budget-friendly
Thats awesome to hear!
That was a great video. Most background kits for aquariums they sell are over 150.00. Thanks for all the hardwork on this. Liked
Your welcome!
I just did this today! It turned out so good. Thank you for this awesome video!
Your welcome! Glad it worked for you!
New subscriber from south Florida I truly enjoy watching all your videos 🙏🙏
Thank you for subscribing!
I gotta go get supplies now....great job explaining the whys and hows....thanks
Your welcome!
Nice! Like that lighting idea
Thanks Mike!
I just retired and starting my aquarium again. Great idea 🙏
Awesome glad to see your getting back into the hobby
Love it!!!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you Sir!
I built this but used marker board from Lowes for $12. Turned out great 👍
Awesome!
Just made the backlight and it looks awesome, thanks for the great idea.
Your welcome!
All with supplies I already own. 🎉 Woohoo
Awesome 😆
Thank you so much!!!
the frosty eyes were also part of the video? xD thanks Bud!
You got it!
Great Idea!!
Thank you! 😁
Excellent instructions and tutorial , thank you !
Your welcome
Thank you for uploading this awesome 😎 tutorial ! It was really helpful 😊
Your welcome!
@@TrafishAquatics Hi, can I ask what size dowel you used please? Do I need a certain distance away from the tank? Thanks 😊
I used a 3/4" square dowel and velcrowed it right to the frame, the part That makes a difference is how far the background is away on the bottom, attach the background right to the top of the tank and then swing the bottom away maybe an inch or two from the light for best results
@@TrafishAquatics Honestly thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate it. I’m glad I found this RUclips channel. 🙂👍
Your welcome 😁
This is pretty freakin' cool!
Thanks!
Excellent work. Did you get any light bleeding either side of the aquarium or did you block off the sides somehow ?
There is a little bit but you can put some masking tape on the edges to block it
This is genius.
Absoloutly love this!
Thank you
This is awesome. I think I like the non-frosted backing. Love the reflection. Although either will be nice.
I like the frosted background paired with the Backlighting kit personally, but the one without looks great as well!
I did this with the "rainfall" effect one. I just rolled it across and it made it look like layered water levels.
That's awesome!
That is really cool and very helpful this is probably one of the better videos I've seen in a while I'm going to home Depot right now to buy this stuff
Thank you, best of luck!
What “rainfall” effect?
Very cool! Thank you!
dude its awsome ! try to double it.. put one on the back and an other one instead of the upper light so you can mix the colors
That might be cool I'll have to try it
Travis would you suggest the pure or the white for the window screen?
Good job
Thank you
This is great. Could you please share the link where I can buy the velcro
If you open the video description the link for the velcro is down there!
Thank you. Found it
Do you think it would have a similar effect without the main tank lights on if you were to use black posterboard? I'm setting up a fancy goldfish tank and I wanted to blackout the back glass until i saw this.
You could but the colors wouldn't be as bright as black will absorb the light coloring that's produced
To buy an ADA version of this would be $400 for my 65 long. This saved me a boatload.
in your opinion are all these lights healthy for the fish I am thinking they may stress out the fish a little and not be naturally what they are used to seeing from the sun with that being said I do like the lights just dont know how beneficial they are to the fish
The lights don't bother them at all, between the sun and moon in nature you wouldn't believe how much light actually penetrates the water column.
@@TrafishAquatics oh awesome that's good to know I was think of doing something similar with my Lake Tanganyikan tank 👍🏿✌🏿
That would be cool
@@TrafishAquatics thanks I seen it done in blue it gave that infinite sea look which kinda suits that lake Tanganyikan environment take care bro nice channel by the way 👌🏿✌🏿
Thank you!
Very nice artistic effect. Thanks. My only problem is the frosted sheet. I'm actively avoiding buying anything from Amazon anymore so I'll try to find these items at companies which uphold American freedom ideals.
Completely understandable, there are many other companies that sell the frosted window tint as well.
😂❤
So 20usd dollars thats about 120 Canadian dollars 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
