    Lol, I had already planned on using the string idea. I have a really thin piece of PVC that I will stick through. I'll tie a string to the end, and tie the other end of the string to the powercord for my aquatic heater. I am currently working on removing the duct tape right now

    Update: I finished, well sort of finished, the coco fiber background. I have a few spots that still need to be touched up, but I'll do that later.



    Tonight I layed down the silicone and coco fiber on the left side of the tank:



    It looks brown in the picture, but I'm telling you that "brown" silicone looks pretty purple to me

    Also to highjack my own thread:

    Bill, I know you've got to be pretty excited for what's coming on Saturday

    Awesome Josh! I wouldn't stress over bare spots on the background to Much. Cover it with some moss or an air plant. No one will ever notice them as much as you (the builder) do .


    Looks great!

    Yeah, if there are any bare spots that I still can't get, I was planning on putting sphagnum moss over them. (or a tillandsia )

    I know right! I tried going back with wood glue because silicone obviously doesn't stick to more silicone, but it didn't work, so I guess moss it is, lol.

    Alright, so I got all three of the walls nice and siliconed and covered in coco fiber. Now what I think is the most exciting part (I think Bill would agree) : Planting

    The Bromeliad layout was pretty easy, because I just stuck the bromeliads in all the little niches in the ghostwood, almost like they were meant to be there.



    Then I kind of got too excited and just planted without taking pics



    Left side



    Right side



    And then some random shots







    Put some sphagnum moss on the edge









    The water feature isn't quite done, because I still need to find some brown or grey acrylic paint for the drylok that I bought. I hope to be able to apply it while the plants acclimate, and hopefully in 3 weeks my frogs can go in

    I got a little camera happy, so sorry for that, but more is better than less! Hope you enjoyed looking.
