Foam Aquascaping?

[Sushiman]

I used an eggcrate scaffold for the foam to adhere to instead of the glass itself. I placed a horizontal cross-piece along the bottom of this framing & attached via zip ties. This acts as an anchoring system for the aquascape as it is buried totally within the sandbed. Instead of the industrial foam, I used a black aquatic pond foam from a local nursery & I have to say I'm pleased thusfar. There's a pic of it in my gallery after it was initailly completed. I have coraline growing nicely & I've begun mounting encrusting frags. Nice bonus is easy mounting of powerheads. My MJ's & Seio's are happily wedged at any angle. Next step is redoing my LR display on a new PVC scaffold. I cant stand the "rock pile" look & it allows you to do more with less. The black foam fills gaps in this style as well so no ugle pvc is left exposed.
