Default Step by step 55 Gal vert build!

Here we go!
This will be a 55 gallon vertical tank. So far I have just started on the tree that will go in the corner.

I will use spray foam, then a silicone peat moss mix.
I just finished the the first round of foam, one more side to
go.

Very nice so far. I built a 55 also and went with the titebond method. I am very pleased with it and recommend it.

I've spent about a year reading different forums, and it was between TB and silicone mix.
I really like both but the silicone is cheaper, and I'm low on money. It's nice to know the TB backgrounds work good, do you have a photo you could post?
Any input on this build is more than welcome so thanks!
