3d backgrounds

Has anyone seen or used these? I know I'll need to add rock for PH level but it seemed interesting.

Looks like they may be a European company.  There are several members here that have done there own 3d backgrounds and have offered advice.  You may want to check out the DIY section and look at what Steve has done and posted.
A few fish and the desire for more.

Thank you both very much. There's a lot of new stuff out there and I'm getting confused in what I want to do. I was going to just paint it black and add limestone, dolomite (same thing?), a bit of lava and texas holey. I don't think the 3d background adds any true hidey holes from what I've seen now, so maybe I should stick with what I know.

Krylon makes a textured spray,  that I've used before,  that makes it look like stone.
