Cleaning and positioning the Tank. Before you start constructing your background, thoroughly clean the inside of your tank with rubbing alcohol, then let it air dry.
Placing the Net Cups. If not using net cups, disregard this step. Net pots make planting the finished background much easier, and allow the plants to establish much more quickly (even epiphytic plants, such as bromeliads or orchids, appreciate a well-draining substrate).
Laying out the Hardscape. Spend some time looking at the empty tank, and positioning the wood how you’d like it. If using cork flats, lay them flat on the back of the tank, maybe slightly overlapping some pieces to provide visual interest and some depth.
Foaming the Background. Now that the hardscape is laid out, and the net cups are in place, it’s time to use a can of Great Stuff Spray Foam and actually get started forming the background.
Carving the Foam. After the foam has had several days to cure, it’s time to carve it. Using the sharp serrated steak knife, carve the foam so that no smooth surface remains – silicone adheres much better to rough surfaces.
Preparing the Coconut Fiber. Coconut fiber comes in two basic forms – dry in a bag, or compacted in a brick form. If the coconut fiber is in the compacted brick form, water needs to be added to expand the brick.
Applying the Silicone and Coconut Fiber to the Background. Make sure to wear gloves during this step. Place the tube of silicone in the caulk gun, and apply a bit to the foam.
