I think you have to do more than just paint the Styrofoam, I think you might need to use fiberglass to coat it but I could be wrong there might be a paint that would work.
The separations could also easily be done with cork bark, it looks great!

this is kinda what i had in mind for the back wall. it allows many possibilities for planting. http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=98790
This post is originally a few years old. But I was wondering if you actually made your river tank? If so, have you posted pics of it or can you do so now?
Welcome to MFK.
If your artistic. Get a tank. Tape off the front viewing area.
Lay the tank on its back. Have lots of sand and sticks ready to go.
A respirator for breathing, and some cans of minimal eexpanding polyurethane foam for Windows and doors. It will stick to any thing, except polyethylene type plastic. And other hard plastic.
Make the inside baffles first.
Simple spray the foam out in a 1" bead . Working in small areas at a time. Spread sand over the foam.
You can use plastic bottles to form the foam. Then apply another layer with sand and rock added.
Gorrila glue works well for fine details as is does not expand near as much.
The pictures are of a boat that I foam cored. It will give you some ideas perhaps.
