This was on RC. I like the idea anyone use it here?
An interesting feature that we carried over from our previous 50-gallon tank was the use of spray pond foam (seen in the construction photo below). We used the foam on the tank’s entire back wall, as well as on the PVC rock structures, which not only provide rock support, keeping the live rock off the sand, but also hide the PVC plumbing used for one of the closed loops. Using these structures eliminated a lot of wasted live rock, which would normally be below the sand. I get a lot of questions regarding the pond foam and how well it has held up. I would use it again if I had to do it over. Just like base rock, the foam gets completely encrusted with coralline and other organisms; in fact, most people can’t tell the difference between the live rock and the foam
