Colours

First choose a finish (Basic, Matte, Marble, Sparkly/Galaxy/Metallic or Glow-in-the-Dark), then pick a colour from that finish. Sparkly/Galaxy/Metallic includes our Galaxy, Sparkly and Metallic colours. There are 89 PETG colours in total, and the colour charts at the end of the photos show each one. Want something that is not listed? Contact us and we will try to source it.

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 pricing depends on the finished dimensions and any separate printed sections required. Message Molten Modern with your enclosure dimensions for a custom quote.

Colour and care

Choose from the PETG colour charts. Reference photos may show painted or weathered effects; the supplied product is unpainted and single-colour. Hand wash gently and keep away from direct heat. Wash before use, refresh water or food regularly, and test for seepage before placing on a moisture-sensitive surface. Check depth and access against your animal’s needs.

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. Do not drill through a water-holding bowl or dish.

• Measure the inside of your enclosure before ordering, and leave a little room for installation.
• Some photos show hand-painted examples. This piece ships unpainted.
