coming along nicely.

use the finest sand you can get, also dry soil ground down to powder and mixed with sand looks good. here is a close up of how mine came out-

the powdered soil helps it look more like stone and less like sand.
I just painted a thin coat of epoxy and dusted it with a heavy coat of soil and sand, then washed off the excess when the epoxy had cured.

cool i like that look.. ill try different ways on a different pieces of the foam to see if it comes out with something i like.. thanks for the tip.

thanks guys, that's only the right side platform.. the left side is a bit more difficult to do, but ill probably get it done this week.. i'm going to let the resin cure fully before i wash them off and run the tank submerged for a few weeks to a month to let it leech anything toxic.. so it maybe awhile before any animals will inhabit the paludarium..
