55 gallon primitive plant tank.

I finally decided to go with a paludarium for my 55. I will have a fb, background and a pond on the right side of the tank. Im not sure what technique I should use for the background. I may go the way of GreatStuff but not really sure. I want it to look like a dirt wall. Coco fiber/silicone method seems like it might be what Im looking for but I am worried about the life span of that kind of background. Any ideas? Its my first paludarium....

soil, dirt, cocofiber, etc. and the titebond method would probably do well. i'm sure froggy could be pretty good help there.

The silicone/coir method has done me well for a couple years now with no signs of deterioration- I think not having animals in there probably helps.

I'm trying a method with Weldbond soon, which I can only assume is similar to that with Titebond. I'll let you know how it goes.
