this should help with some things... good places to buy... please add to it! and how it's done... favorite links thread

don't forget to scour the stickies.

i think your styrofoam will have a problem staying put without a decent amount of support with your current design.

why the gap in the back? is something going back there?

welcome to the site.

Thanks for the help, to be honest I read the noob info but didn't completely understand what stickys were... I am totally new to forums! I live way out in the sticks and still have 56k internet, so it is a little easier for me to ask questions than take the time looking through tons of pics till I find the information I need. But I will suffer through it so people dont have to explain or link me to things already on the site. Thanks again.

I planned on putting my pump/filter/and heater behind the BG to hide it. Then cut a hole and attach screen to keep the critters from getting behind it, but still allow water to get to my equipment. I agree with you about my design I didnt understand how boyant styrofoam was until I started experimenting with it yesterday... Maybe I can put some bracers in somewhere on the overhang part that will hold my substrate, I think thats where I will have most of my problems.
