My first vertical conversion attempt

I'll let you know in a few weeks.....lol i figured that since it dries hard and 100% waterproof, why not give it a shot? I even planned around it drying amber colored. That's why i went with the lighter colored grout.

I should mention that i had read of other people using it to attach coco fiber at dendroboard. I just decided to try it out as a sealer.

I assumed you could only use silicone for that. I'm still a newb at this. I cant wait to see yours finished! It better not look better than mine though!

Oh, i'm sure it won't

Here are the rock wall pieces with their 3rd coat of grout. I think just one more coat and it will be time to paint! I am excited!!!
This is probably a stupid question, but should I silicone the pvc in place under the false bottom?

looking real good if you mean the supports, then it's up to you. if you're only doing a portion of the tank as a false bottom, i would say yes, as a precautionary measure. you should have enough weight on the land mass that it shouldn't ever move. shouldn't being the key word there....lol is that the position they are going into the viv?

Yes I meant the supports. I will silicone them just to be safe I am going to have a pool at the front of the tank that the waterfall is going to drain into. One of the rock wall pieces are going on the back wall and the other is going on the left wall. I am still deciding how I will do the waterfall; whether i will use Great stuff, or the same foam I used for the rock wall.
