Thank u guys for your replies. I've done lots of research josh about the expanding foam. Everything says to practice w/it 1st and start off w/little amounts. Be sure to let it cure long enough and that it helps to use silicone 1st before applying the foam, so it better sticks to the glass. I want to form ledges and such for my frogs to hang out on as well. And regarding the plants, wow there's so many! I will be doing the pond for sure. I have some experience, it just wasn't as in depth as I'd like this one to be. I plan on doing the false bottom pond using the egg crate (I believe its called) material and using pvc pipes for support. I'll be purchasing the necessary substrate from josh's frogs. I love them guys, they really know what they're talking about. I may decide against a waterfall though. We will see...what would y'all consider a personal preference, foggers or misters? I love the way the fog looks, but if the misters are better, than please let me know. Will I need fans with a misting system? Oh and I didn't see any feedback regarding a good filter system?
