photo #1. the black piles of what looks like dog doo are actually piles of waterfall foam. in the photo the tank is on its back, and im trying to experiment with the foam to figure out how much to apply in order to make some mounts to mount the false bottom and false back.

lesson learned? waterfall foam sucks. use "great stuff" expanding foam. in order to glue the pieces of cork together and mount them to the false back, i used great stuff expanding foam. its soft and workable at first which means you can move pieces around, and make some last minute adjustments, and after 30min its hard to the touch.
