ABS Plastic Aquarium background

Fishin Pole

I have available to me alot of black ABS plastic that I used for a background on my aquariums.........I was wondering if other people would be interested in using something like this for their tank?........I could custom cut the size you need and i will be selling it at a relatively cheap price...........Just looking for feedback if some members here would be interested, or am i wasting my time?...........Any feedback is appreciated, whether its good or bad

what exactly is ABS plastic? I googled it but it didnt give me much info. However, from the pictures it looks like good material for a background.

its a moldable plastic that is used in all kinds of products............from motorcycle fairings to the plastic that encases all aquariums around the top and bottom...........i have sheets cut and placed on the back of all my tanks.........All black but i think it makes seeing the "hard to see" fish easier

Its interesting but I currently have wrapping paper as a background... and it hasn't failed me yet. Perhaps one day when its falling apart ill buy a plastic back for a longer lasting background? Also from experience, shipping on large sheets of anything costs a bundle of money. This may be a better business idea for a local sale?

a piece for a 55 gallon tank will roll up into a 12 x 12 x 18 box and have no harm done to it from rolling it up.......I was just curious if other forum members would be interested.......Its nice when its dirty, just take it off the back and wipe down and put back on.......

I wouldn't be interesting in buying as I'm over in the UK, but do you have any pictures of it when it's not on the tank?
