Okay, well i got Gs onto a piece of wood that'll fit into my tank as a background.But im stuck becuase its my first attempt.What steps do i take?after i got it on and carved i was planning on just adding grout and leaving it at that,but from my reading ive heard itll just fall off.So what do i do?Do i add the grout then a sealent or sealent then grout?Oh and what sealent is best?i was planning on having a waterfall and a stream on it. thanx

If i were you, i'd check the thread titled like 10 gallon brackish tank. It should be a sticky in this forum where you posted your thread. He used different colors of silicone, and it looks like its pretty amazing. Its what im going to use for my paludarium once i get working on it again. It seals good, waterproof, and mildew resistant.

appreciate it,but i kinda took it into my own hands and used grout/concrete mixture to cover the GS then the silicon.finally finished the background waiting to cure so i can set up my palu.

sam please post pics if you can. for grout, grout sealer is best. ge II is fine usually. normally we don't do grout and silicone in the same spot.

please post pics. you may have a new issue and i'd like to make sure of what the issue is before i send you in the wrong direction or someone assumes.
