I started backgrounds tonight! I managed to get two cork bark puzzles put together before I ran out of silicone. I will have to make a trip to Home Depot tomorrow for more.

You could always drop them off at my place on your way out of town.

Just as well, you wouldn't be getting them back anyway.

Thanks, Dustin.
It doesn't compress at all?

It does compress a little if you were to press on it but not very much. I haven't noticed any compression after the viv has been set up, even with drift wood being placed on the substrate.

I use the foam and love it. Never going back.

How long have you had a viv setup with the foam bottom?

A little over two years. It drains great. No noticeable wicking. And no deterioration. Ultra light, super simple to work with... A bit pricey though.
I cut it just a bit small, fill the gap between it and the glass with turface, then too it with abg mix and leaf litter.
10 minutes and the bottom is complete.
Plants will root in it though but that doesn't bother me. I don't often remove any. Once I set up a viv I kinda just let it do its thing.
