New Build 35 Gallon Exoterra (pic heavy)

Okay so I was also interested in your stream, is that foam water tight? Did you have to seal it? Also until this thread I was unaware GS made a pond version and now I want some bad! Also I really like how you stamped the foam down to get there rock look, did you have to carve it as well? Could you possibly get a close up of the stream I'd like to see how the texture came out, also Amanda you said you tried it, could I see? I got a lot of questions I know, you 2 have got my brain going

GS does make a black colored foam called Pond & Stone. From what I have read it is less expanding and some said it didn't go as far as the gap and crack GS.

As for my experience...I waited about 30 minutes, give or take, and then I pressed (it was still tacky, but it easily came off of my bare hands) on it lightly until I got it to was happy with it. A few places I pressed it flat and a few places I just pressed some of the air out, because it was expanding to places I didn't want it to go.

I have a build going called Mossy Frog Build. Go there and I'll tell you which parts I pressed the foam.

That's great naturelady. I've been putting off the build (doing other things) I'm going to have to do some more work.
