    There are so many ways to do the background and this should be interesting. I'm curious to see how it turns out.

    We've done a big tank with large pieces of cork bark pressed into freshly applied Great Stuff and it's holding up well.

    I have another tank where I'm trying the clay method, of sorts. I slathered clay onto a sheet of eggcrate, then pressed cork bark into it. I have to be careful not to let it dry too fast - we'll see how it holds up.

    The first tank is always the hardest, IMO, but it looks like you're doing super, Stanton.

    Thank you! I hope this background turns out nicely, and I'm sure it will with all of y'all's help!

    I just got 2 more packages. One has all the fruit fly culturing stuff in it, as well as leaf litter, some sphagnum moss, and screens. The other package has the ABG mix. Thank you Cheri!

    I will get some pictures up ASAP, but I am having diffeculty with my Photobucket (again).

    Can't wait to see you guys in chat!
