Thanks all! Good info. beckdg, I'll have to start searching the dendroboard. Cool site Epiphile. I love the Bio Walls, hope to incorporate one into a future Vive or Terrarium project.

OK I found this build log while scavaging for cool ideas on the dendroboard. The builder is really creative and has used scouring pads as replacement for Epiweb. Long build log, but there are some good ideas.

Well, if you have an opportunity to try some of this stuff out, let us know how it goes.

that guy comes up with some good ideas for sure. i just skimmed through and it seems he used floor stripper pads. is that right. that's a good idea and they should be able to be found anywhere from say home depot to a janitorial supply house.

he is a member here too. he doesn't really post but he did leave us a link to directions for making rock work out of a 2 part expandable closed cell foam. likely the foam he mentions in his thread there. if you're a member on dendroboard it might be a good idea to look up the rest of his threads.

hopefully this will help save you some time: i have accounts with a few places local to me. one janitorial supply that's near me is jondon. typically you have to be a licensed business relating to some products they carry to get an account to make purchases. the good part (noone realizes) is how many different types of businesses are privvy to such an account. even gas stations and restaurants use their air fresheners and cleaning products so a lot more types of businesses are able to obtain accounts than most people realize. if you know someone who owns a business it might be a good idea to pull a favor and have them get an account. chances are they'll gain in the long run and you'll get much better products for soooooooo many things. i typically buy a cleaning product about once a year since i get mine at jondon. the only things i really don't usually get there are simple green, hand cleaner and laundry detergent/bleach. if i need it when i go i'll get it though because it'll be concentrated and last a whole lot longer. anyway if you decide to try out a supply place it's best to look them up and call them to see if you need an account and how to get one. some places (especially in less populated areas) will cater to the public.

another thing too... at the supply joints you'll get much better service. it's personal, they'll typically get to know your name. they'll direct you to each product and explain the differences. they'll even train you how to use them if you ask or are unsure. all while at the checkout. i find it's a great resource to have in ones repertoir.

Good idea beckdg. I'll give it a shot. I'll also look for the additional posts.

I just need to stay grounded and not try to bite off more than I can chew!!! I am in the middle of my first Vive build and I've already got plans for at least 2 more. I'm starting with a 10g, the space limits are cramping my creativity. I've got to get a bigger tank!
