So I dont' think the water fall I'm trying to create will be sufficient enough in terms of actually creating a water fall rather than just water dropping off of my AquaClear. Does anyone know what would be good to cover styrofoam? Silicone is one thing that popped in my mind but I dont' really wanna have to cover the whole thing. Is there some sort of paint that I can use?
I think that like with DIY backgrounds people use epoxy or something like quikcrete to cover the styrofoam. Might want to look into that...
Jpap, never got to thank you for that link you sent earlier so THANKS! Someone on TPT posted about the refrigerator method and stuff.
I found some styrofoam pieces in my garage that I could use or try to get "great stuff" and create my own DIY background.
I guess I found tomorro's project.

Not a problem!
And since I know from experience that once you get the CP bug, you wont be able to stop, I recommend joining Terraforum (http://www.terraforums.com/forums/index.php). It's not the most active site, at least compared to AC, but they know their stuff and have a subforum dedicated to Dionaeas. Several AC members are also keeping VFTs (off the top of my head I know Bo, PaulJ, and jbradt) so there are plenty of people to ask around here if you run into problems.

Thanks! I'll check it out later. I might might end of getting this pitcher plants (gotta get name and stuff) that I saw sitting next to my VFTs. Quikc question, would they need to have a dormant stage during the winter months?
Before I create a foam background, I'm gonna test out the filter if it will actually work from that heigh and see how fast the flow rate is.
STAY TUNED!

The pitchers found at the home improvement stores are usually Sarracenia spp. and they do not need a dormant period as far as I know. The ones I picked up from Lowes were S. purpurea.
Thanks! Im a member now on TF. I asked a question about anoles.. but someone ended up telling me that VFTs and Sarracenia sp. need sunlight. Is that necessary or could that be achieved in a fluorescent set-up with 60 watts of light?
Sweetness!! I filled up the water side to perform the leak test. I'll leave it like that for a while but everything seems fine.
I wasnt going to post another forum link here, but i saw another post where someone else did. So for all things newt/salamander you need to look through this forum: http://www.caudata.org/
There are people that breed and sell different species so you wont need to settle for something they sell at the LPS.
