    Using foam, epoxy and other material for backgrounds and scaping

    A rather long thread on ReefCentral:

    You can see the utility for freshwater displays though.

    I've seen some of those threads before. Would be a great idea for an African Cichlid tank or anything else. Beats paying what people want for those foam rock walls and such if you have the talent.

    Foam! Maybe I could use that to glue together some pieces of wood to make a bigger "construct"! Good idea.
    Nothing is simple.

    I used high density styrofoam they use for insulating buildings, quikcrete and black cement pigment when I did a nano tank
