I will not be updating this thread any time soon.

this thread is for those who like to see all their options at one glance
and for those who would like to see what different backgrounds look like with various terrains

Most of these fine items can be purchased from

(yes, this is a link to Phin Phang)

MAIN FEATURE!

The Aquarium Background/Terrain Simulator
now you can see what any terrain looks like on top of any background,
a feature not available in Phin Phang
it is privately hosted so you will be redirected
but you should never see any request for your password.
Feel free to leave a reply if you use this feature. i would love to know what you think about it.

Any with the overseer in the tank are not available in Phin Phang
but you can probably find them in the Marketplace

I have the town background....Not sure if my aquarium is showing up in my sig. or not, though. I keep trying to save it to show, but then when I go to look at the settings, it's switched itself back... O.o

I can try to upload a screen shot somewhere from my end and send you the link if you want.

Awesome post. :3

Though, it'd be cool if you could get full-size screenshots.

You've almost got all of them. I'll see if there's any that you're missing that I could take a screenshot of for ya. wink

I REALLY wish I would have seen this before I bought the Aekea background. Since the item itself just looks checkered I assumed that the ENTIRE background would be checkered. Instead, I get this huge space of white at one side that looks extra stupid. D:

So thanks for the thread. I'll be using it in the future.

xD And this is exactly why I haven't bought a bg for my tank yet. It's because I wanted to see the screenshots of them- tektek just blows up their thumbnails. Thank you-- I hope you get all of them up.

I'm glad I could see your thread! Are you going to do the items and everything else as well? Either way, I love your thread and thanks for linking to mine! I'm going to add a link of yours to my thread. smile

THANK YOU!

Fushiro

Same here. I wanted to see what they looked like before I went and bought one. I'm not going to put cash or gold into buying a background for the stores or MP if I don't know what they'll look like in the aquarium. Thumbnails just don't do it for me, and seeing people's aquariums in their signatures is kind of small...
