Default Great Stuff Water Feature

Hey guys I'm new to terrariums so bear with me. I building a dart frog habitat and i've already created a false bottom using egg crate. There is going to be a small pond in the middle and a waterfall leading to it. My question is how to create the walls of the pond. I was thinking about using Great Stuff and lodging rocks and such in it. If I did this would I need to silicone the inside of the ponds walls so that the Great stuff didn't contact the water under the false bottom? Any other ideas would be very appreciated! Thanks!

Great stuff doesn't make the best water tight seal at the glass. you will need to make the entire pond of GS. if you leave any of it with the great stuff contacting something else, you will need to line the entire pond with silicone.

GS is safe touching your water, just doesn't seal water tight to anything but itself as it cures.
