Pay my travel cost and i will be more than happy to help you! hehe. Well it is not only cement/gravel on the foam, i have during the building time thrown beige/yellow sand on the surface. I think i did at least this stone in 5-6 different steps, and as we speak im on the second stone.

curious...
what did you use to cover your rocks?
what technique?
how did you get the pits and grains on the rocks?

they really turned out well so far.

First i put a thin layer cement/water to get a foundation on the foam. After that i place about 0,5-0,7mm layer cement/water/sand that i let dry 2-3ours before i carv some cracks and so in it. This is one of the most comon method in faux rock building.

Hi.
Sorry for so late post from the last one. Yesterday my products arrived that i need to finished ther vivarium. So well i got some done yesterday like placing the last substrate/silicone parts, and saw out holes in the roof for cooler system(50mm thick cellplastic box with 110mm diamter pipes)



But now i need some opinions what you think i shall use as light. I have T5 850 pipes, the white/blue is 6500k(daylight) and the yellow/white is 4500k(cold white)

I just cant use both pipes for salamanders because that is to bright for them i belive, and i will never see them out during day time.


And a litle test with furnishing.

As fast i decide light i can start paint the rocks, so be fast!

Regards.
