Ideas for wall

[rubiks]

Started another Tank, First tank i did had no water in it, so i have constructed to have bottom half water and top half land and waterfall, used great stuff to do so but this time i do not want to use the silicone on the back wall and use eco earth stuck to it. I thought that was a big pain in the ass, Does anyone no of some ideas that others have done, Like painting the foam not oil based of course. Thanks

yep... there's a lot of choices really. look around the site if you can... especially the stickies. tell us more definitely about your setup. what you have going so far, what your goals are, where you're located (country at least), what you already have, any animals or plants you definitely want, etc. ...

Have 40 gallon oct tank. Siliconed Plexiglass divider 5 inches up from bottom. Does not cover all of bottom about 6 inches open in front. Sprayed alot of foam on land part all the way to top, Have cut out water fall with small creek dumping into water on bottom. Cemented all of waterfall and and some small rocks to divert water to trickle down falls. All works very well just need to do something with backround. I would like to paint it but not sure how that would hold up overtime. Putting in submer pump with filter, small pump for waterfall, and possibly fogger not sure yet just what i have to work with. Live in P.a. At the moment have 3 year old albino pac frog.

You can also use Krylon Fusion paint, or the stone look paints. To use those, it's best to get some drywall sandpaper (looks like screen with sand on it) and sand the skin off of the foam. It will get the best coverage and texture that way.
