It cost me about 14$ for the styrofoam, and 3$ for the cement dye. I already had a bag of cement mix at my house, not sure on the cost of it. It took me forever to get the color right for the mix and to apply it to the styrofoam haha.

Well, it's finally done!! All that's left now is to allow the concrete to cure and the pH to stabilize... and to finish weighing down a stubborn rock (I half-***ed) who decided to come loose, FYI, if anyone tries this, make sure the concrete is thick and the silicone covers everything hahaha. The rock would've been in the empty spot on the left side.
I hope you guys and girls like it as much as I do. Sorry for the poor quality pictures, I haven't got my hands on a good camera yet, so the phone will have to do.

I'll try to take better pictures once the water clears up.

Awesome! So the two bigs rock on the bottom, are they fake as well? Might have to do this with my 75 I picked up today
Yeah, the entire rock setup is styrofoam covered in color dyed cement. It's very easy to make, it just takes A LOT of time, waiting for everything to dry and setup properly, but the end result is worth it.Ajno;5158458; said:
Looks great bro, love the depth. That is something missing from the prefab BG's out there. Can't wait to see the end result.
The final tank pictures will be up in very soon. Just got the fish in today, I'm extremely excited haha.
