Aquarium Background ZOLUX reversible Amazon/black 60 x 120 cm

The ZOLUX reversible aquarium background Amazon/black 60 x 120 cm provides a quick way to change the look of a freshwater or planted aquarium. One side features an Amazonia graphic that simulates a dense, natural backdrop, while the reverse side is solid black for a neutral, contrast-enhancing background. The sheet is sized to cover the back panel of standard rectangular tanks up to 60 x 120 cm and is intended to improve perceived depth, visually hide equipment and create a consistent scene behind fish and plants.

Advantages

This reversible background offers two distinct visual options in a single product without the need for replacement panels. The Amazonia graphic produces a natural-looking environment that complements planted setups and community aquariums, while the black side increases contrast for fish colours and simplifies the overall look. The thin, flexible sheet is easy to fit to the aquarium back wall and can be trimmed to size if necessary. Its design reduces visible clutter by concealing filters, heaters and cords.

Suitable for

• Freshwater community aquariums
• Planted tanks and aquascapes
• Display tanks where background contrast or depth is desired
• Temporary or permanent decoration for home or office aquariums

Key specifications

• Dimensions: 60 x 120 cm (height x width)
• Two-sided finish: Amazonia graphic on one side, solid black on the other
• Material: flexible background sheet suitable for attachment to glass or acrylic walls
• Intended use: back wall application to enhance visual depth and conceal equipment

How to use

Clean the outside surface of the aquarium back wall to remove dust, grease and watermarks before fitting. Measure and, if required, trim the background sheet to match the aquarium dimensions. Align the chosen side facing inward and press the sheet flat against the outside of the back glass or acrylic, smoothing out air pockets as you go. Use water or a mild soapy solution to help reposition the sheet during fitting, then wipe excess moisture and allow to dry. If permanent fixation is needed, apply aquarium-safe adhesive or double-sided tape to the edges, ensuring no adhesive contacts the interior water.

Usage recommendations

Choose the Amazonia graphic when a natural, planted look is desired; select the black side to maximise contrast and simplify maintenance of the visual appearance. Avoid installing the sheet inside the tank; it is designed for external attachment. Trim with a sharp blade on a flat surface and store any unused portion rolled or flat to prevent creasing.
