as mentioned, I made structures from eggcrate and put the black spray foam on it.
than in front of the structure I have a 3/4 inch PVC pipe with 1/5 inch holes drilled into it., in total there are 4 induvidual pipes that all come up in the corner of the tank and are conected to a 4way splitter that is conected to a 1500GPH pump. so when everything was in place I put my sand in the tank, and placed 1 row of rock on top of the PVC pipe and along the spray foamed structure. there is a picture where you se the resolt afterwards (you can se what is rock and what is foam. the PVC pipe on the bottom of the rock I use to fluch debris that might have gathered between the rock, so about each other day ore so, I fluch one zone for about 30 minutes, and than a day ore 2 later I flush the other. not that it is needed, but I thought it was a need thing to put in, I dont se it, and it douse exactly what everyone recomends to avoid (debris build up) I have more pic's if needed

forgot to mention that when it is in the water, the foam tends to schringk about 1/8 ore so.
this means when you spray it directly on the glass for a back wall, it could over time get loos, becouse it pulls itselve off by schringking. other nice thing is that laterone you could gust plug in a frag, without the always ugly frag disc. the ledge you se on the last picture isonly black foam covered in coraline algea, I put the galaxy on top of it and i sticked all other corals directly in the foam

Where can you get the black foam from locally? I tried to look it up online but the only hardware store that had it listed was Home Hardware which isn't particularly close nor cheap. I also want the foam specifically because of the UV resistance.
