Looks good. I'm going to do one of these backgrounds adventually, I will follow the instructions on that you tube video you posted.

The video.... I used the same stuff, followed it step by step... turned out great... as you can see..... and yeah mikey, I got my africans in there now.... looks bad ass with the blues, yellows, whites, and orange africans in there.... just need to get bigger. Anyway, thanks for the comments guys.

anything that could be used instead of concrete? cant find it in any small amount in my area

home depot, they have a small bucket for patching up cracks in the concrete and stuff... think it was like 6 bucks.

looks good!!! I can dig it

Here it is 2 months later... after covering with alge... looking more natural now!
