Re: Colleen's Azureus Build
Colleen,
Looks good so far. As I am sure you have read already patience with spray foam will make the difference between a well cured well attached background and a nasty mess they you have to scrape off so you can try again.
As bill said the balloon trick is super easy and makes the placement of pots so much easier. If you want to just sprayfoam a pot into the background you can put a small balloon in the pot and blow it up. This will keep the foam from expanding into your pot

Re: Colleen's Azureus Build

Re: Colleen's Azureus Build
Lol let it cure for at least 24 hours. It sucks and it will drive you crazy but it really is best. It will SEEM cured before then, but it's not. a little secret .... Spray foam is a liar!

Re: Colleen's Azureus Build
my GS cave. Holy Expansion. well i might want to cut it down a bit. it's a bit bulky, to say the least. i have cut a few flat areas into the GS background, so the frogs can sit on them if they choose. also made 2 niches for my airplants that are not here yet. Got my Package from Josh's frogs today! exciting. Still have stuff on the way, but can't use it yet, anyway.

Re: Colleen's Azureus Build
Is that a cave for the frogs to go in? Looking forward to seeing the rest of the build
Re: Colleen's Azureus Build
Yes it is, but i think i might have made it too low, bc i have to add about 6 inches of substrate. so i may end up having to trim the cave entrance way up, or just turning it into a mini tree stump. i got the cup out, and just letting it set up more.

Re: Colleen's Azureus Build
ok so painting on black silicone is not as fun as it sounds. i was paranoid it was going to dry out before i got the cocoa fiber on it.
And now here is something that is NOT fun. Forgetting to use the substrate barrier before dumping a bag of ABG ontop of the leca. I picked thru and sorted for a good hour before i called it good, and put the barrier fabric down, added the ABG. At Josh's frog's site, it told me to get 2 bags, but not sure it looks deep enough. i guess when i get springtail culture, sphagnum and leaves it should be deep enough? i hope so.
sorry about the glass reflecting

Re: Colleen's Azureus Build
It looks great! Usually your ABG mix should be at least 3 inches deep, so you may need to order another bag, because it looks more like 2 inches in the picture. I'm not expert though, so I could be wrong.
