Oh, I want to try the foam work for rocks. I also found this web site. http://www.azreef.com/ This looks pretty cool too. If I could find the over flow boxes for inside the tank I would drill and try the foamed back glass.

just make sure that you do not spray the foam directly on the glass itself without spreading some silicone on it first or using eggcrate, I read of someone that did this and eventually the foam seperated from the glass and floated up

I'm thinking 2 things. Either the glass wasn't clean or the foam he/she used wasn't made for a water environment. I picked up 2 cans of black foam in Lowe's water fall and fountain department. It's made to fill in around the rock work in water falls. I'll bet I'm going to need more than 2 cans to cover and build up the 48" x 22" back glass.
The pond foam is a great idea as you can sprinkle the sand on it while the foam is still wet and skip the resin/epoxy part of it..maybe 1 more can to be on the safe side, you can always return it if ya don't use it

I won'[t need to take any back as this summer I am going to be doing a pondless water feature in the front yard with a water fall. So chances are, I'll need more. The pond foam costs about 2 to 3 times as much as the Great Stuff. That's ok though, better safe than sorry.
HeHHe, my daughter has the same tank too, only with pink sand and pink cons and pink backing and pink castles and pink....well you get the point.Pretty darn cool! I have the same tank/stand, but in oak... and freshwater.

Maria, It looks great to me. I can't wait to get my display tank up and running. My LFS owner has offered to come over and help me get it up and running right.
