Black foam

[o2manyfish]

I used the black pond foam to mount slab rock on the back wall of my 400g display tank. Some of the rocks weigh over 40lbs. The tank was setup over 8 years ago and I haven't had any issue.

Wow thank you for all the responses. I was going to use gloves we have this foam at work for packing and that crap stays on forever. But I also might look into the cement. But thank you again!

So with the Emaco cement what is the cure time/process to get it ready for the tank? How long does it have to soak? Or does it?

Why can't you just stack the rock? Done it for years and never had a problem. I wouldn't put that in my reef.

I have a plan I've had "stacked rock" in all my tanks and every other tank I've seen. It is boring to me.

Why not? I've had the plain foam in my reef for years and didn't have an issue with it.

what were the questions?? and answers?

I have been wondering about using that stuff for awhile now.

Im guessing the "plan" has some overhangs, or arches. somesort of pillars. gotta love tho possibilities with some foam/putty/cement/whatever works for ya!

+1 does seem kind of expensive. My problem is that I am having a hard time finding it anywhere else. Any suggestions?

I used the pond foam for a gecko cage that had a waterfall and after about a month it shrunk up I think you are okay if you use a skeleton for it though.
