My First Foam-Backed Upright

[NatureLady]

The bottom will be mostly water with aquatic plants. I still have to figure out what I'm going to use to turn the bottom portion into a water-holding container. I might just go get a piece of plexi glass cut to size at home depot and silicone it in.

Could you maybe find a glass/plastic dish or bowl and put into the bottom to hold water?

I could as a last resort, but I was kinda excited about the prospect of having an actual paludarium, possibly even with a couple of small decorative fish in the bottom. I've always wanted one, but never had one.

Thanks for your feedback though That will definitely be an option if I find it's too difficult to make this work as a paludarium.

No problem. My internet connection is rather slow today, for some reason and it only loaded half of your second picture.

And yes silicone the GS from what I have read. This is what I have been researching all day for a project of my own as well!

Excellent, thanks! Good luck on your project, sounds like you thought yours out a bit more than I did :P I might even cut out a piece of pond liner to silicone to the foam in the water portion and on the waterfall.

I live in the middle of no where so I have to plan, lol! Good luck on your build as well and I look foward to seeing a finished picture!

haha, I hear that. Thanks for the well wishes

One more thought (inspired by your other topic): Maybe I'll scrape some of the foam off of the bottom water area and re-do it with the pond foam. What do you think would be better? Re-doing the water area with pond foam, or just covering my existing foam with silicone?

If it where me...I would forge forward with the foam you already have and silicone it all at once when you do your plexiglass portion!
