Rock walls in glass tanks...

platinumtlc Jul 16, 2005 12:29 AM

Does anyone here have the fake rock walls that wrap around the back and sides of the tank, making it 3d and the beardie can climb on top and hang out there?
I looked at the ones that were premade and you can insert them, but they don't seem that realistic.
I hear you can make your own out of styrofoam. I have seen some pretty amazing looking walls and was wondering if anyone know how to do that?
Should I just go to the Rag Shop and pick up blocks of styrofoam and start carving away? I have to seal it and paint it right? how do I do that and make it rock looking?
It all seems to complicated but I am up for the challenge and would like to try it out. Any help is appreciated. I am going to be doing this for a 20L for my collareds.

I built my rock wall using the instructions on the link below. I included some pictures of my final results, I think they turned out nicely.
