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.

duh....despite the name of this thread, my brain thought it was wider and those pieces were both going on the back wall. i am such a ditz sometimes....LOL and if your background pieces are going to be siliconed directly on top of the edges of the egg crate, then you really won't need to silicone them in. the rock wall will keep it from going anywhere, but better be safe then sorry. i had to silicone mine down in the paludarium because all the land masses were floating!!!!LOL

My brain stopped working a long time ago Very frustrating

Here is the rock wall in place. Still needs painted but the grout is not fully cured, so I will have to wait until tomorrow to paint. Still can't decide how to do the waterfall...
