Ahh that makes more sense!

Question...that foam insulation stuff that I'll be using as a background isn't going to affect the water in the drainage layer, is it?

[BCollie]

Alright, here's where I'm at. The sand is out, the tank is 100% scraped clean of algae and hard water, and it's drained and dry.
Do I really need to bleach it? If so, how many gallons of bleach should I dump in the full tank?

[BCollie]

Oh hey!! Hopefully someone will see this before I head to the store...what do I need to buy to carve the "rocks" into the foam background??

[BCollie]

Measure twice, cut once.


Fits perfectly once I cut it down to size! It's nice and snug, I don't think I'll even need to stick it to the glass with anything.


Progress!


Finished with the first panel.


Put it in to see how it looked


Now...I need you guys to be very honest with me! How does it look? If you think it looks bad please be honest(I can handle it ) and I'll flip it over and try again.

That looks great!! (IMO) I personally, would glue it down to the back of the glass just to make sure there is no way for it to fall over or for anything to get behind it. I know with the hydroballs, screen, dirt, etc it would probably be a non-issue but..

Yay, I'm glad you like it!! Thanks!!
Is there a way that I can stick it to the glass that's not permanent? So it can be taken off without there being any trace of it ever having been there....So that if I ever want to sell the tank, people aren't going, "what is that on the back wall?"
