I know... This isn't even the build I want to be doing right now, but I can't keep the other to Vents in the current tank. I have destroyed it looking for the other 2. So here I am again. I am a little nervous with this one. I haven't done a spray foam build in a long time and had carrying degrees of success with it. I am hoping this time goes much better, but I won't know until it is done and in place lol.

The first round of foam is dried and fully cured. Glad I decided to do a thin layer lol. I put the 2 back wall pieces in this morning and started foaming them into place. I did add a pice of cork to one side to give the wall a bit more texture and realism, but it made the wall much thicker than I hd planned. I am leaving as is for now, but if it becomes an issue I am prepared to remove the cork and stick will the foam only wall.

Doing the foaming outside of the tank was much easier, but did require some extra care in trimming to get the piece to fit back in where I wanted it in the tank.
