Hi guys. So I built a ten gallon vert and the GS foam has shrunk off the glass wall... What do I do??? The frogs would be able to get back out of the slit easliy because its about 1 1/2 inches wide. Should I fill it with dirt, moss, more foam??????? Please help me!!! I don't know what to do. I'll post some pics very soon.

I wouldn't worry about it. you can leave it or fill with some spag.

Ok. I'll do that. I just don't want the frogs to lay some eggs back there and I wouldn't be able to get them out. That would suck!

Easy way to get eggs from behind a background:
Let the frogs carry any newly-hatched tads out themselves so that they will place them in visible water-filled cups which you can remove yourself. Bingo!

It happens to be a registered trademark of some indigenous natives of Peru, whom I have hosted at my home. Go figure.

If you dont have too many frogs in there you can just put them in a temporary container and reseal the background to the back of the glass.

There aren't any frogs in there right now but the substrate and false bottom is.

Filling it in is probably a good idea. One concern I would have is a spider setting up shop back there, with you unaware, and then having a frat party.

Q: Did you just spray the great stuff on the glass?

I've always use black GE Silicone first as a thin base layer and added to great stuff after the silicone dries. My backgrounds have not budged one bit and my tanks are in the 2-4yr range.

Yeah I did. I've done this background for the fifth time and this is the first time its happened. I'm going to spray some more foam in it today or after the weekend.
