I am going to post some picture of my own custom foam hardscaping. I can build just about anything out of foam and would like to know if there is a market here for it. I use only GE I pure silicone rubber and I am careful to cover every surface in a nice layer of it. This piece took 2 full tubes of GE I.

This one could have turned out better with a better paint job and a thicker layer of sand and silicone. For something like this I would want to get about $40 plus shipping.

These next 2 pieces I would like to get $35 for the corner waterfall and $20 for the cave.

This next one I would ask $25

Well thanks for looking. If purchased I would even include enough silicone(a handful in a baggy) to stick the object to the glass of your aquarium. In the case of the waterfall though I SEALED it to the glass so that I can fill it up with water... I couldn't spare that much silicone if it was purchased you would have to buy your own tube. I am ready to make these or any custom ordered object that you might want. Thanks for any feedback that you can give.
 
The first one my turtle would LOVE..this is awesome!
 
thats pimp. i want some but i just dont feel like spending that much. i saw something like that at the petstore and i was like: OMG how the crap did they make that!
 
i like the one that looks like a honeycomb.
 
If it had to be permanently stuck to my tank walls, I wouldn't be interested. Thing is, I change my mind over time and rearrange tanks.
 
do you have any more that you can show us?

Thanks. It probably would make a nice turtle home. I was thinking it would be great for a fire bellied newt

So how much would you feel would be reasonable for the honeycomb looking one?

I am sure that I could offer you one with suction cups or even a weighted one that wouldn't float.

No... I was hoping some one would request something. If someone requests something I will make it and then post pics... they will have first dibs but if they don't want it they don't have to take it. I think I will make you give me a $2 down payment just to make sure you are serious.
 
How much are you charging for one of them? I know it would depend on size and such but could you give us a rough estimate?
