Materials list:
1 can of "Great Stuff" foam insulation for doors & windows
1 sheet of styrofoam (free from a shipment I received) OPTIONAL
1 bottle of Gorilla Glue
1 bag of loose eco-earch substrate
1 bag of moss
Bark, rocks, sticks, from my yard & the beach
3 plastic bins from the $$ store
Plants from my yard
1) I cut the styrofoam sheet to the size of the back wall of the tank
2) Placed all the items I wanted to attach to the background
3) Sprayed foam all around the items
4) Let harden outside for 3 hours then out carved any "over-foamed" areas
5) Mixed 50/50 mix of gorilla glue with substrate and moss mix and slopped it all over the background working in smallish sections
6) Let dry for 2 hours
7) Went back over the areas that were still showing any foam through or blank spots with more glue and EE mixture
8 Added plants & filled plastic bins with moist moss
9) Done!
This is what it looked like when the foam was done.
