Sizes 1 and 2 are single pieces; Sizes 3 and 4 use two matching sections and Size 5 uses four. The dimensions describe the complete assembled background.

Need a different size? The listed variants are convenient standard sizes, not the limits of what we can make. Many designs can be resized in width, height and depth, and their proportions can be adjusted to better fit your enclosure. Small dimensional changes often do not materially affect the price; custom background pricing is based primarily on the number of modular panels required. Message Molten Modern with your enclosure dimensions for a custom quote.

Good to know
-
Anchoring in an aquarium: Bond the base to a flat stone or acrylic sheet with aquarium-safe silicone, or with hot glue or cyanoacrylate superglue specifically suitable for aquarium use. Follow the adhesive manufacturer’s surface preparation and full curing instructions before placing it in the aquarium. Where the design allows, a few small holes through the underside into enclosed air pockets let water in and air out, reducing buoyancy.
- Measure the inside of your enclosure before ordering, and leave a little room for installation. Choose dimensions and openings suited to the animals you keep.
- Some photos show hand-painted examples. This piece ships unpainted in your selected filament colour.
