CeramicNature Thin Background – Grey
Realistic, space-saving rock background for aquariums and terrariums
The CeramicNature Thin Background in Grey offers a natural and highly realistic look while maintaining a low profile—making it ideal for smaller or shallow tanks. Although this series has now been replaced by our new CN thin Backgrounds, the Thin series remains popular for its handcrafted design and ultra-slim depth of only 2–3cm.
Each Thin background is made from a polyester base with a rock-hard mineral resin top layer, ensuring long-lasting durability. It's heavier than water, so it can be placed freely in your aquarium or securely glued in place. The surface is hand-painted using the airbrush technique, making every piece one of a kind.
