I did not think much of it when you started, but it turned out pucker. After a while wehn it becomes covered in biofilm and algae it will look really nice and natural.

Great build.

im in planning process of doing this for my 30 gallon, should i use concrete or not?

I see that you used it but someone said it may not have been necessary.. is it safe to put drylock directly on the styrofoam?

You can paint drylok over styro, but the concrete gives it a more realistic look.
