ok guys, I am trying to build something like this. [youtube]d5QTRxbYtK8[/youtube]
The guy on the video uses expanding foam. Im going to build this on a 75g.. how many bottles do you guys think I need to use to recreate it?
It's definitely not going to be exactly like his but Im definitely going to be using way more than he did.
Also, Im not sure what soil he used, since he didnt really state it. Do you guys know what soil is best to use for the land/plants portion of it?
I was planning on making most of the flooring with expanding foam and then just add soil to where i want plants growing. Or maybe just make the division with the expanding foam and add water in one side for the fish and soil in the other for the plants and frogs (not sure what the guy in the video did on that scenario but I think he did the latter).
how big of a pump should i use? etc..
and where to get supplies for this type of build? IF there is an online shop that you guys recommend it would be wonderful!!
This is a build for an university classroom. ( I dont drive so I will have to get everything online and delivered to me).
Also.. I don't particularly have a budget, so let me know what I need ( or suggest things that will look amazing) and I will more than likely get it. :twisted: (unless it's WAAYYY too expensive than common sense will probably make me not do it, but let me know and Ill consider it!).
Also what type of fish would it be ok to keep with this set up?
I have a lot more questions but I figure I can find those out as I go. But if you have a good link to give me for my education please dont hesitate to direct me towards it. Im new to this site so any help will be appreciated.
