Foam -Types and application examples needed
#1
I have been reading some of the threads here and have a few clarifying questions about setups. I see many people using foam for backgrounds and believe this is the way to go as opposed to fern panels. Can anyone recommend brands of foam to use? How do you attach the coco bedding to the foam? Do you use adhesives or apply it on wet and let it dry to the foam? Where do you get the "cups" many of you are placing in the foam to hold plants?

As I have been researching PDF setups for a whole hour now, I am sure more questions will follow.

Thank you,
Bart

The way you attach the coco fiber is to cover your dried foam (overnight) with silicone (work in small sections at a time as it dries relatively fast) then press the coco fiber onto it. But that opens the grand debate of whether or not GE II with Bioseal is safe to use. I personally don't want to answer that question as I have heard many people express questions about bioseal and am not convinced that it is safe to use with poison dart frogs. I would search the forum here and read my post "an answer about bioseal" and make your own judgment.
