I have reviewed probably over one hundred background terrarium videos before I begin my own and yours is by far the most entertaining, educational, and musically enjoyable. The results look damn good too!

Hello!! very nice what you did! i am trying it too only my cocofiber falls off when i vacuum it. I have done exactly what you did. do you have any tips?
@DenvaProbablyDraws
Жыл бұрын
Never done this before, fair warning, but might I ask how long you let the fibers sit before you vacuumed? The author of the video might have let the enclosure sit for days before rubbing off the extra, letting the silicon set properly. Could be your issue, if not I’m not really sure. You could also try using excavator clay for the background instead, like solidify it with water. Might be sturdier. I know this is four months ago but maybe I can help lol.

Hej, såg att du kanske var svensk på expanding foam flaskan ;) Undrar om det är en speciell flaska utan typ anti-mögel medel eller bara en random expanderande foam som man kan hitta vart som hälst? Är den med andra ord "akvarium säker" som silicon kan vara, eller vanlig? Tack :)

what would happen if you used a small torch to smooth out the foam ? instead of hours of cutting with a knife/razor? think that would work ? i seen one guy do it with making a waterfall out of foam and it final product surface was slick looking but good after he put substrate mix on and moss !
