Looks good. Your real test is to be sure it's heavy enough so it won't float. That Great Stuff loves to fight its way to the top. Add some heavy rock to anchor down.

i put about 40 ponds of rock. I hope it doesnt float!

nice!

I am pondering doing a partial wall myself. Where did you get the Devcon Epoxy? I don’t want to do it until I can seal the foam.

Just finshed Installing and it doesnt float, It got sucked to the back and i dont even need a rock to hold it still (didnt expect that), we'll see how it go's. Passing out! pics tomorrow... I got the epoxy in hull but i think skiptons sells it.

 

[Leroy]

Great, it's stuck to the back and holding. You'll have to show us how it looks when you're done.

Pic 1 shows how it covered my overflow box. Only thing now is the air bubbles from my cpr skimmer it but i think is from all the sand movement both skimmers are working over time.

Im really happy with the outcome it blends right in. Did a water test and everthing is on point.

Very nice, I'm impressed how natural the background looks. One of these days I'll build one for my next tank upgrade.
