about how many pounds would I need to cover the back of a ten gallon aquarium? Thanks

The piece of cork bark I bought weighed about two pounds, but I had a good bit left over. I could have used a shorter piece---I wanted the "wrinkles" vertical, so I cut it into several shorter pieces. Cutting this stuff is a pain, by the way! I used hand saws; maybe a power saw would make it easier.

Thank you soo much. And once again, your cage is beautiful.

hey there nice setup, is your soil portion seperated from the water do you have any other pics showing different angles, ie how much soil youhave in there? that is so cool and inspiring. if it is sealed off how did you do it. thanks for the answers.

Thanks for the compliments! Actually (I hate to admit it) I have had some problems with the divider between the water and land. It is a piece of acrylic, bent and sealed into the tank with silicone. I have a persistent slow leak into the land side. Some folks have told me that acrylic (or plexiglas or whatever) and glass won't ever seal well, and I actually took out the divider (along with the newt, plants etc...everything but the cork bark) to look into putting in a glass divider. The glass guy tells me, though, that the acrylic should work, and the glass would have to be beveled to get a good seal (and it wouldn't be as cool, either!). Perhaps I needed to use a heavier acrylic; I used a pretty thin piece. I should start rebuilding tomorrow; I just can't decide whether to invest in another, thicker piece of plastic. Probably will; I'll let you know how it works.

Thanks again!
