defective_weeble Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Oh. My. God. OK so talk to me. What pond foam is that? Also, can I come hang out on your patio? Kthanks. Link to comment
Paandemonium Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Awesome idea of using eggcrate as a skeleton. I might have to copy that for my viv when it gets setup again. I couldn't even tell that you used a tile for a weight. That is ingenious too..... but is it heavy enough? It would have been like 20 cans of this junk + waiting for days for the layers to set so I came up with it while being lazy and cheap LOL Its about 10 pounds a tile and I used two so hopefully it'll do + its gonna be siliconed down. If that doesn't do it I think I'm gonna have a floating island tank LOL Also thanks for the ego boosting compliments <3 they make my day x) Oh. My. God. OK so talk to me. What pond foam is that? Also, can I come hang out on your patio? Kthanks. Got a six pack from ebay $67 and shipped lightening fast! Great Stuff(literally the name) The dominos table is set up + theres beer in the fridge, come on overrrrrrr Link to comment
Pinner Reef Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 What type of foam is that? Never knew Great Stuff came in brownish/black. But, yes, Gorilla glue works really well for sand and rock. What I did was start by putting the largest rocks in there then fill gaps with rubble followed by a healthy layer of sand. During the first hour of curing I went back a few times and pushed the rocks into the glue because it foams up. Best part is even if you miss a few spots the foam looks pretty natural. Edit: Get generous with the glue. Like, more is better style. Link to comment

HD didnt have it and I had to look around a lot, most places had it for $8-9 a bottle but with the shipping added in it would have been more so I just got the package deal. What was the exact name of the product you used? I was thinking of maybe getting some food safe epoxy instead Link to comment
Pinner Reef Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Welp ya had me worried so I looked around. Turns out the general consensus is that it has not been proven long term. Obviouly I had a Mantis in the system without any problems for a solid 8mos before a heater incident killed it. Apparently the glue breaks down over time. To answer your question tho; I just used the standard gorilla glue. Link to comment

I think that eventually everything corrodes under saltwater but by that time I'll probably have another tank lol I see the villain from Ferngully. It needs coral! LOL just wait till its loaded with coral! LAMO at the Fern Gully. Did you ever realize Avatar is just a ripoff of that movie with moer CGI?
