Well heres what I have going on.

I have a little waterfall in one of my terrariums made out of stacked slate. Essentialy its a hollow moutain with a removable cap. Only the

Right not it just has a stream coming out of a tube hooked to the filter out of it because it was running into my soil and not draining!

I tried putting silicone on the inside to stop it running that direction but it didn't work. That was before I knew silicone wouldn't stick to silicone though.

My question is there any other cheap substance that I can use to waterproof the inside of this without it showing on the outside? I just need to direct it towards the front more.


Thanks for the help.
 
So is it a really dark color?

And I'm going to assume let everything dry out good and then take off the old silicone.....

I need to go browse around ace anyway.

The first one is when I started it up and didn't realize that it would leak out the side to the land.

The second one is about 3 weeks ago and was mainly of the vine. Now that vine goes off that picture.

Its not the best Paludarium ever but it was a start. And I keep improving it trying to make wallace my whites tree frog happier.
 
Well, the ace in my small town didn't carry it. They did have a can of great stuff though. I sprayed that where I think it was leaking and will see if it helped at all.

I marked the water level after I had taken the tubing out that directed the water. It hasn't went down any in an hour and a half but thats not very long.

I also sprayed a 10g background. I''ve always wanted to try this stuff out.
