The back wall of an aquarium is often neglected. Usually, a black film is glued there, or one looks directly at unsightly cables and hoses. What if this bare glass surface instead becomes the green glowing highlight of your tank, which also serves as a gigantic bio-filter?
With a moss back wall, you build the perfect bridge between modern aquascaping and maximum biological benefit for your shrimp.
The 3 big advantages of a green back wall
A moss wall in the background offers your aquarium several invaluable advantages:
- Invisible technology: No matter how neatly hoses, pipes or cables are laid – they disrupt the natural overall picture. A moss back wall completely covers the back pane and visually makes the technology disappear into the dense green.
- Gigantic biofilm surface: If you plant the entire back wall with moss, you multiply the usable surface in the aquarium. A huge grazing area for beneficial microorganisms is created. At the same time, the moss catches suspended particles, which are biologically broken down there.
- Paradise for baby shrimp: Newly hatched offspring instinctively seek protection from predators. Hundreds of baby shrimp find a safe refuge between the fine shoots of a moss back wall. Since the nutritious biofilm grows right in front of their noses there, the survival rate increases drastically.
Our assortment: The right size for every tank
Since aquariums are as individual as their owners, we at ShrimpPuddle have continuously developed our back wall system. We offer you three customized options:
- The normal moss back wall: The proven entry for smaller nano cubes or standard tanks, to set targeted green accents in the background.
- The Moss Back Wall Pro: The optimized system with an even finer grid structure and grid height adjustment for demanding layouts and mosses.
- The brand new Pro XL variant: Our latest highlight in the shop! Specially developed for larger breeding tanks, Kallax aquariums and aquascapes, where you want to seamlessly green massive areas in no time.
The ShrimpPuddle principle: Click & Grow
ShrimpPuddle Moss Back Wall System
Our modular click system, from the basic version to the Pro XL variant, makes greening the back wall child's play and safe.
Anyone who has ever tried to laboriously attach moss with glue or threads knows the frustration. The moss slips, cords break and scraps float everywhere.
Our moss back walls function according to a well thought-out, child's play system:
- Fill tray: Simply spread your favorite moss evenly in the base tray. Whether it's the classic Java moss, the vertically growing Flame moss or the bushy Spiky moss – you have a free choice.
- Click on lid: Click the precisely fitting grid lid onto the tray. The moss is firmly fixed, can no longer float away and has perfect space to grow out forwards through the grid.
- Attach: Hang the back wall flexibly in your tank. Depending on the model, you fix it classically with our strong suction cups or rely on our extremely comfortable magnetic holders.
After that, all you have to do is sit back and watch your shrimp conquer their new favorite wall.
Conclusion: Aesthetics meets biological peak performance
A moss back wall is the perfect combination of practical benefits and visual highlight. It camouflages the technology, offers protection and abundant food, and stabilizes your entire aquarium climate. With our modular click system, from the basic version to the brand new Pro XL variant, it has never been easier to make this dream of a green background come true.
