X foam

17 years ago

Hi

Had an opportunity to see long term results of this material used as decorative elements in a 180 rift lake and 75 gallon paludarium. First was setup in 95 while second in 00. Foam was cvered with latex paint.

In both cases not only did the foam hold up but the paint is still in good shape even where plants rooted!!

It did lose it's adhesion where attached to the glass.particularly on the bottom this would easily be overcome by curing first and gluing with silicone..

I'm converting the paludarium back into an aquarium and it looks like I'll be able to reuse most of the material!!

Had none of the dire side effects that I was warned about lol.

Thought those considering this material would be interested. gary
