Tank's been full of water a couple days now, and the structure is staying put though.
    I will say though, that without the paint, I wouldn't have been able to stand the foam at all. Yellow is not a good color for rock LOL.
    LOL

    this is what I plan on doing with my 210g when I set it back up. Im going to stack the rock they way I want it and then use foam to fill in the gaps to make it look like one large incrusted rock structure.

    Yeah, that's more or less what I did with mine, but I also did some structuring with PVC and eggcrate
