It hardly takes up any volume. It's less than an inch thick.

I have read several threads on RC that all say that the foam comes undone after a while unless there is enough of it to hold it's self in place.
meaning the whole back glass,
I have been meaning to add it for a while now.LOL Finally got around to it. Thanks again.


As far as the foam coming up. I'm not too worried because I siliconed the plumbing pieces behind it, then foamed the piece all the way around so it's kinda like a C shape. The only way that foam is coming out is if it take the plumbing pieces with it.

It only takes up as much as you add then it will expand alittle. I added a good amount, but could of added alot less.

Re: Bobby's tank build.

Just alittle update. I havn't got any more work done to the stand,just been really busy. Getting ready to go back to school! Thats going to suck LOL. Anyway tank is cycled and I added two pieces of live rock the cc starfish and two new clowns. I bought the biggest ones the guy had but they're still small. The LFS had them for a few weeks, he bought this LFS about 6 months ago or more and I never once seen a sick anything in his tanks. Well these fish seem super healthy, and hopefully this is a new beging for me and they both will last longer than 4 months....Hopefully years. I want to keep one atleast longenough to reach full size. Well anyway here are some pics.
Here is the best one I could get of the new guys. They look real small but they're about 3 inches.

Here is a whole tank shot. Yes I do plan on adding more live rock.LOL

Re: Bobby's tank build.

LOL Yeah I'm going to add more. Actually I have another 20 LBS in the 55 that I'm getting ready to tear down, but I might just throw that rock out because I don't like it much. It has been with me since I started this hobby and for some reason hair algae attracts to it and only it. It is soooooo pourus that I think alot poo is stuck in it.
