6.  After making sure all the engineering was acceptable, I began designing the background.  I collected styrofoam through friends, dumpster-diving and appliance stores.  I starter out with a couple sheets on styro insulation and cut and sculpted shapes gluing them together with aquarium safe caulk.  I would use spray foam insulation to fill in gaps and make various shapes.  After sculpting with a knife, a torch was used to round and form the shapes.  I built it in sections to carefully secure into the aquarium.
