Terrarium
I started this project a while back as a way to wet my feet in working with styrofoam and concrete. It has since been on my to do list and althought its ready to be finished i just think something is missing. The idea is that i make a rock wall and a platform out of styrofoam then in front of the platform will be a little pond in which a frog newt salamander or whatever can swim. the water will filter under the platform through gravel and then be pumped up behind a waterfall and then gravity will take it down the wall and through a river that is carved in the platform. I used 1/2" pink styro from home depot for the walls and platform the kids even helped shape the rocks that went on the wall. I picked up a box of concrete resurfacer from hd ( homedepot) to put over the styro walls. I have 1 coat on now im think as i type this it is a prototype so i may as well just finsh it and then find out what i am missing once its finished. Pics below.
