My Boyfriend Paul is the creative force behind
www.urbanbromeliad.co.uk which mainly focuses on his passion for naturalistic vivaria and tropical horticulture. He creates some very beautiful naturalistic vivariums and some stunning living walls as well as some very realistic hardscapes such as tree buttresses, rock walls and other completely realistic pieces of the natural world.
I managed to convince him to create some rock back grounds for aquariums which he did an amazing job on!
I thought I would share some of his work with you all because I’m so proud of him he also writes articles for reptile magazines and is in the process of finishing his first book a “ a guide to vivariums plants” which covers a wide range of plants suitable to rain forest, temperate forest, savannah and desert vivariums
As you can see these rock walls look just like real rock! And work very well in an aquarium making a plain vanilla aquarium into a natural looking show piece for the home ☺
He is currently working with a new website designer to revamp and update the site but you can order custon backgrounds by emailing him from the contact page or directly at
