Attachment 1466
the first time I used styrofoam to divide the land and water area....BAD idea. I did not realize with dirt and rocks on top it would still float so it resulted in the front falling apart and I had to redo everything after I cleaned the tank out but here is what it looked like before it messed up
first i washed the hydroballs off like ur supposed to then i added them on the side that i used for land like thisAttachment 1466 I then used mesh cloth that I got from dollar tree Attachment 1468 it was a hanging organized but I cut it to size and cut the plastic off and washed it to make sure nothin harmful was on it then i added the eco earth
Attachment 1470 i then put the frog moss in place where I wanted it Attachment 1471 after that i put some of the pollished stones I got from dollar tree on the edge to make sure it was weighed down Attachment 1472 I also used this plastic drop cloth (I think thats what its called) I got from dollar tree as well, I used a piece as the creek liner and added some rocks to hold it down plus make it look a lil more attractiveAttachment 1473 and here it is running perfectly Attachment 1474 unfortunately a lil while later as i was tryin to fix the tube because it came off the pump the dirt moved the styrofoam and it all callapsed. So I went down to the creek beside my apartment and gathered some nice rocks and put them in a deep boiler and boiled them for about 30 min or a lil longer as i had to clean the tank and gravel from the dirt but afterwards i set the two nicest rocks like this along with the hydro balls and mesh cloththen I added the dirt after I approved how i liked it and set up the creek and frog moss and here are the finished picture, I think it looks better
sorry about it being blurry, it didnt look like that when I took the pic
