Aquarium Background Panel Hagen ZOLUX double-sided Roots/Stones 30 x 40 cm

The Hagen ZOLUX double-sided Aquarium Background Panel Roots/Stones 30 x 40 cm provides a textured backdrop for aquariums, with a roots motif on one side and a stone motif on the other. Designed for attachment to the rear wall—either inside or outside the tank—it enhances perceived depth and contributes to a more natural-looking environment for freshwater and planted aquariums. The panel is sized to fit a variety of small- to medium-format aquaria and is intended to work with standard aquarium setups where an improved visual background is desired.

Advantages

This double-sided background panel offers two distinct natural textures in a single product, allowing flexible aesthetic choices without additional purchases. Its dimensions make it suitable for many common aquarium sizes, and the textured surfaces reduce glare and visually hide equipment at the rear of the tank. The panel can be mounted internally or externally, providing installation options to suit different aquascaping and maintenance preferences.

Suitable for

• Freshwater community tanks
• Planted aquariums
• Breeding or display aquaria where a natural backdrop is desired
• End tanks or sections where hiding filtration and cords is needed

How to use

Choose the texture (roots or stones) that suits your aquascape and position the panel against the rear wall of the aquarium. For external mounting, clean and dry the outside surface of the aquarium glass, align the panel and fix it in place using aquarium-safe adhesive pads or suction mounts as appropriate. For internal mounting, rinse the panel with aquarium water to remove residues, place it against the rear glass and secure it so it remains stable behind plants and decor. Check for proper fit and avoid trapping air pockets that could affect appearance. After installation, arrange hardscape and plants as needed to integrate the background into the scene.

Usage recommendations

When using the panel inside the aquarium, rinse thoroughly with dechlorinated water and avoid using chemicals or detergents. If mounting externally, ensure adhesives or suction fittings are compatible with the aquarium glass and do not obstruct cleaning access. Combine the roots side with tall plants or driftwood for a natural look, or use the stones side with rock or gravel layouts to emphasize structure and contrast.
