there are a few pics in the vivarium section of waterfalls and pond areas that were made with this

does anyone have pics of it being used?
if this stuff works it could make for some very cool looking landscapes.

I have some, but I haven’t used it yet. I was thinking I would try to make a waterfall/stream with it tomorrow. I think it will work great. It says on the jar that it can be used in aquariums so I think it should be able to stand up to being used to make a water feature.

I have some on the way, at it is very safe for the water feature. I am using the mortar in all the water areas and covering the rest of the tank with a "flevopol" mix. I don't think the ACE method or the WeldBond method will hold up for very long in an underwater condition.

Here are 2 places that sell it:
www.vivariumconcepts.com/index.html
and www.terra5designs.com/ on his site you can read all about it, and he has a few pictures. He doesn't have the mortar listed so email him and ask, this is where I am getting mine.
