1st attempt at using foam in FBT tank

Yup. Moss is an epiphyte and has no true roots. A cfl rated at 6500k will do just fine

Looks great! I love the idea of custom built "furniture" and so much the better when it's useful.

Just for reference for a future DIY'er, what type of foam did you use?

[FriedrichsFrogs]

I used a can of Great Stuff Foam, you can pick it up at any Walmart or Home Depot, Lowe's. Worked out really good

I have seen some knock off brands of the GS for cheaper, but if I cannot confirm that it is not the exact same formula I do not want to risk using it.

i've been using the GE foam. i like it. it seems to cure a bit tighter than GS. not as many large air pockets. but in large quantities, it does take longer to cure.

Good to know, Thanks Bill! Always can rely on a chime in from you!

Awesome, thanks! And, even better, that seems not all that horribly difficult.

It is surprisingly simple, waiting for it to cure was the hardest part

I hear that. Impatience has killed many a project around here.
