Acrylic & Greatstuff

Has anyone used the greatstuff, black silicone, and co-co bedding method of making a background in an acrylic tank? I'm a little worried that I won't get a good seal between the sides and the silicone, letting water contact the foam. Will greatstuff dissolve under longterm exposure to water?

Thanks,
Joe

My experience with silicone and acrylic is also sand first.

Almost lost a nice frog from a falling piece of wood.

That *is* a bit different than foaming... but why chance it?

Agreed... but since 9 out of 10 times the are that is hazed is under something - it's worth it.
