Hello can you use great stuff and coco fiber to make a background on a tank I have a 29 witha small leak and figured the great stuff could help seal the tank as well and act to make a back wall thanks

The answer is yes but you probably want to use aquarium silicone to seal the leak and then you should use the GS. If the leak is strong then I would test the integrity of your silicone. Good Luck

All of my Viv's are made with the GS, Silicone and Coco method. It looks great(when done proplerly) and holds up pretty well. Here is a thread on GS and pots, It has some good info on GS.
