Foam stuff for the "rock work" look????

[AUTOMATIC OCEAN]

Hmmm?

Hmmm?

Has anyone here ever tried inlaying 1/4 in airline tubing in the foam that you could hook a small pwrhead to with spouts throughout the backdrop for extra flow? I am going to give it a shot so Ill let you know hoeit goes.

1/4 gives you no flow....! After 4 months it will be totally clogged and ...literally..no flow.

If you are imb eling it, use at least 1/2"....good Idea though....!

ahem. Please excuse the micro bubbles. My skimmer is having an off day.

I ended up super glue-ing it to the back wall.

Some pics of the rock itself.

i have sprayed it right on top the squares with the straw just to make shure it gets in there.

Does the black pond foam adhere better to glass than the "Great Stuff" or do both not really work well on glass?

black doesnt stick to glass. best to syllicone it to the glass after cureing

MAEDA, I would like to know this too. I have built some rocks, and they have proven to be much more bouyant than I had expected. Im trying to figure out how Im going to get them to "stay put" in my tank.

i dont know if he still reads this form any more cuz his last post was little over 1 year ago.

Speaking of foam stuff... I just had to move my tank and I noticed that most of the rocks I had "glued" together with the pond foam basically fell apart in my hands. I think I'll use epoxy next time...

I'm looking to do foam wall, and thinking of siliconing to glass.
I know it's pretty boyant, and wondering if anyone has had any probs w/ boyancy pulling on glass?
