Slower Smellaware!
I go out last night to Home Depot, its late and I got other things to do and wanted to hurry before other stores that I was going to closed. I run up and down the Isle's and grab my self some silicone, some great stuff, and some of that plastic grid for ceiling lights. I Check out and I find that I get over priced for the grid thing. I thought !WOW This big thing for only 5 bucks!? I can do a few Terrariums with this one piece and so I grabbed it not thinking anything else. Turns out the stock person put it all in the wrong place, the kicker for me was the whole box was mixed up with some laying on top, some in between blah blah. OK so I straighten it out, turns out the one I picked out was 10 bucks instead so I got the correct one for 5 bucks, still happy with it but its just not as thick and sturdy as I remember it being for my last false bottom years ago.

Now I am all set with everything but plants, I am at home and ready to start when I find out that the black "GE SILICONE I" was clear! Well turns out to be the same scenario, the stock person put tubes of clear in with the black. This morning I call Home Depot to find out if I can return this stuff and get what I want, Sure I could they say, so I get there as fast as I can cause I really am not a morning person at all and they got rid of all 5 cases of it with in that time!:p:mad:


Now I have a question. Is there anything else I can use to adhere the coco-fiber to my great stuff?

I am not using it for a back ground but for the land area in my terrarium, I decide not to go with a planted back ground for once and made one with that good old burning grooves in that thick hard foam trick.
