Just a quick post to show how I made my background.
1. Cut hole in cork bark tube and stick to 10mm styrofoam. ( styrofoam cut to tank size).
2. Cut out the hole in the styrofoam board.
3. Spray the styrofoam board with expanding foam to desired depth. Leave to dry.
3. Carve out background taking off all the outer smooth surfaces of the expanding foam.
4. Cover carved out expanding foam with aquarium safe silicone.
5. Cover the background in dry substrate while the silicone is wet. Let dry and put it in the tank. (remember to silicone/ substrate around the"peep hole)
Let it dry and any smell disperse before you add the spider. ( I leave mine to "gas off" for a week).
