The Materials

I'm slowly gathering all the materials required to construct the background, false bottom and the planned waterfall (although I have yet to sit down with pen and paper to draw up the scheme yet..:P )

so far, these are the materials I gathered:

• Expanda Foam
• Concrete
• "Egg Crate" or Light diffuser gratings
• Bamboo charcoal
• Sculpting tools/ penknife
  
• Face mask

I have yet to decide if I am making the background using the expanda foam with cocofibre siliconed up or concrete method.

A close up of the Expanda foam...took me a while to find these at Homely Hardware at No.1 Ubi Crescent.

I will probably need some other stuff like:

• LECA clay pellats
• Substrate for the water portion
• mini pump for the water circulation and waterfall
• peat, perlite and spagnum moss
• plants (thinking of getting carnivorous plants like pitcher and venus fly traps)
• faunas (will prob settle for hardy small ones like endlers)
