Product Information
Full details
The Juwel Motive Background Cliff is designed for aquarium hobbyists looking to enhance their tank's visual depth without sacrificing precious interior volume. Ideal for those seeking a professional, natural aesthetic, this 3-D background provides a striking rock-face texture that transforms a standard glass box into a realistic aquatic environment. While it offers an impressive aesthetic upgrade, users should note that the background requires secure silicone mounting to prevent debris from becoming trapped behind the panel.

FAQs
Can I cut the Juwel Motive Background Cliff to fit my tank?
Yes, the material can be carefully trimmed using a fine-toothed saw or a sharp utility knife to fit specific tank dimensions.
Is the background safe for my fish?
Yes, it is made of non-toxic, aquatic-safe materials that will not affect water chemistry.
Does this background come with adhesive?
No, you must purchase aquarium-grade silicone separately for installation.
How do I remove the background if I want to change the look?
You can carefully slide a long, thin blade behind the panel to slice through the silicone adhesive.
Will the color fade over time?
The material is designed for submerged use, but avoid using harsh chemical cleaners to preserve the finish.
Can I use this in a saltwater tank?
Yes, the materials are resistant to saltwater environments.
Troubleshooting
The background panel is lifting from the glass.
Ensure that a high-quality, 100% aquarium-safe silicone was used. Re-apply silicone to the affected area and secure firmly with tape until fully cured.
Debris is getting trapped between the background and the glass.
Use a small bead of aquarium-safe silicone to seal the top and side edges of the background to the glass to prevent water circulation behind the unit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward but requires attention to detail. Ensure the aquarium glass is thoroughly cleaned with an alcohol-based solution and allowed to dry completely. Apply aquarium-safe silicone in thin, vertical lines across the back of the background panel. Once placed into the tank, press firmly against the glass and use masking tape to hold it in place while the silicone cures. Always allow at least 24 hours for the silicone to fully harden before filling the tank with water. For maintenance, keep a soft-bristled brush or a dedicated aquarium sponge on hand to remove light algae growth from the crevices of the cliff structure during regular water changes.
