You know how people have backgrounds on their tanks?

Well every time I am at the pet store, or aquarium store, the backgrounds are always way too small for my oscar-less tank...

It's a 59.8 gallon tank which I call a 60 gallon... 21x24x21x24 inches I think... anyway, it's kinda like a cube...

So I am wondering, how do you guys get the backgrounds for them,
Non DIY type...

My tank is also 24" tall and I ended up ordering one online because most of the places by me ended up only selling the shorter backgrounds...I got mine from fosters and smith online...they had the 24" tall backgrounds...just basically trim the length and I was good to go!

Okay... maybe I may find some online...
I saw yours from when you first got your oscars and I thought it looked good, so I went and wanted it...
Heck, I bought some black sand after seeing yours and put it in a really small 5 gallon I have.
