      Foam and Lizards would Drylock work to create a little pond area? It is waterproof so I think I can just build up a little 2x2 inch wall that has a bit of water in it for a terrarium. Do you think this would work? I have a paladarium with a waterfall and I think it would be cool for the waterfall to go into a little pond before it hits the main part. Any reply would help, thanks

      Question, how much would you say it costed you to build that waterfall?

    • @foamandlizards9160
      @foamandlizards9160  6 років тому

      Well that depents, because alot of stuff you can use many times more (like foam, grout, paint and epoxy resin), so it's very hard to say. Those things make the build very expensive, unless you want to build something big or more vivariums.
      But this is what i paid:
      pump: 20 euro
      Foam: 10 Euro
      Styrofoam: 8 euro
      (Concrete)Paint (4 colors) +- 60 euro
      Epoxy resin 20 euro
      Grout : 15 Euro
      Elastopur: 23 euro (although you dont need it for the waterfall)

  • @Agenda18
    @Agenda18 5 років тому +2

    The 2 part mix you used is better than silicone. After some time, the silicone degrades (when used with foam, soil mixes, and then going from wet/dry), starts to peel, and looks like heck. Everybody copies each other on UA-cam, so of course, they don't know this.

    As I previously mentioned, your video gave me some great ideas but I decided to use only your video as guidance. Your video does a much better job at showing and explaining how to do everything. It's so much easier to understand than other videos. So anyway, I have up to the foaming and flower pot placement done. I am however, a bit confused with how to do the resevoir. I was wonderinng what the purpose of two hoses in the second pond is? I know I would need at least one but I just didn't understand the resevoir part. Is the whole bottom used as the resevoir?
