Foam Backdrop
Hey all well i wanted to setup my other little 20gal tank. But i have a clear overflow and was thinking of using some type of foam to create a rock effect???? Maybe that Window Expanding foam???? After that is applied was thinking on some kind of paint? Or i guess i could use crushed liverock. Anyone know of anything??? a safe foam to use????????

Cool! You should probably paint it or something though. I didn't paint mine and it started shrinking on me. It lifted away from the glass and allowed things to get behind the foam. Make me mad. Coral sticks to it mad fast though!
