Hi every one,
I Got the idea to start building a foam/rock wall for my 120 gal reef tank that I am in the process of setting up.
Once I got measurements for the tank the hardest part of the fist bit is trying to find all the matterials needed.
I went to Walmart, lowes and 2 different home depots before I found any egg crate. Next challenge was finding pond safe foam. Thankfully the girl at lowes said that canar rock products carries lots so that cut down on the searching. From there it was off to great hobbies to get z-poxy and big Al's for sand and dry rock.
Once everything was together I used tin snips to cut the egg crate into the right sizes and then zipp tied the pieces together. I also made over hangs with the egg crate to support the bigger rock pieces and to conceal my HOB overflow.
At the moment I have started foaming the egg crate and some of the smaller dry rock pieces and I highly recommend rubber/latex gloves and parchment paper to stop the foam from sticking to whatever it's resting on
