As many of you know I have pretty much finished my 4ft tank conversion.
In that thread I was thinking about backgrounds, So I thought I would start a new thread for that idea![Smile](https://thebts.co.uk/forums/core/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Suggestions so far were to hand paint a background in reverse (colin) or look into transfers (linda-i think!)
On another forum it was suggested to use fern tree back grounds/panels and that has inspired this following idea
I figured that at about £10 a panel (x5) this would be on the expensive side.
So what about using a thin piece of polystyrene sheet cut to right size, blathered in PVA glue and stick stuff like bark chips, coir substrate, moss, those bristles you get on the end of sweeping brushes. Basically odds and ends I have kicking around so the only thing I would need to purchase is the polystyrene... which aint gunna break the bank lol!
would PVA glue be safe??? I figured if it was safe and edible in small doses for kids it would be ok for inverts, however correct me if im wrong. or would silicone be better for a warm humid environment?
Your comments would be much appreciated
