I'll try to get some up of the rainbows. They are still young, starting to color up nicely too. As soon as my son takes his naps I'll take some photos.
photos and a short video.... I so need to get a new camera, this 5mm is crappy.

Thanks, once I get a nicer camera I can actually take a photo where you can actually see what is what.. lol
On a side note I have been watching the rainbow cichlids. I'm about 75% sure I have a male and female. There is no chasing that I can see between the two. They seem to hang together, and the smaller of the two seem to be more rounder in the tummy. I'm keeping my fingers cross, and hopefully in the next few months I'll have a breeding pair.

Wow thats great! I like the "dim" look of the tank, it makes it look really natural!
What is the brand of the sealer you used? Do you think it would be safe if I put a layer of the sealer on the foam, then a layer of paint, then more layers ( a lot) of sealer? I'm building a paludarium so I was just curious if it would be worth saving the money on epoxy paint. Thanks!

the sealer is water resistant type, and it doesn't have a brand name on it, just says
grout and tile sealer, (also says for use on cement)
I'm not sure how it would work adding it before the paint. But if you have some extra pieces of foam left, do a test run on it before doing it on your main piece. That should help you decide which way to go.
