Never done this before, fair warning, but might I ask how long you let the fibers sit before you vacuumed? The author of the video might have let the enclosure sit for days before rubbing off the extra, letting the silicon set properly. Could be your issue, if not I’m not really sure. You could also try using excavator clay for the background instead, like solidify it with water. Might be sturdier. I know this is four months ago but maybe I can help lol.

so turn it down? lol

I'm gonna use dry-lock sealant instead of silicone

It’s Aquarium silicone so it’s safe for your pets!

you would be better off buying a new tank, it would be difficult to get the foam off unless you sat there carving it away for hours lol

Don't do it man. That shit's extremely toxic and causes cancer.

Coco fiber

I usually use plant soil, can't say for any other countries but in sweden its safe.

From what i unterstand you should be fine as long as it's 100% silicone. Although i'd recommend aquariumsilicone when working with humidity above 60% as it won't get moldy.

I just went out and found silicone 1.. just to be safe

I think it was 3 or 4

Wolf Games no you need great stuff pond and stone the one they used in the video is toxic to animals 😔

@@jaydenmarrero6350 false it is only toxic if ingested in large quantities which with the silicon overlay and dirt on top WONT happen...

@@jaydenmarrero6350 Even my local zoo uses this stuff (polyurethane foam), and it's a high-class conservationist zoo too. I wouldn't use polyurethane foam "as is" in a terrarium, especially if there were animals with sensitive skin walking on it. But the thing is, you cover the foam with silicone, and cover the silicone with substrate. How then, would the animal be in contact with the foam?

Wow, thank you!

Most people use coconut fibre

Hi! I bought it at my local pet store.

Hm.. 3-4 tubed, I think it was 1 meter long and maybe 50/60 cm high :)

@@emelienbonnier6171 oh okay so about 2 tubes should be fine for a 45x45x45cm right?

@@emelienbonnier6171 also how many cans of expanding foam did you use?

Hi! Soil without any additives :)

That would work, but I like to have the possibility to remove my backgrounds if I want.

@@emelienbonnier6171 before I fix it to the tank

I use aquarium silicone and spread it with a butter knife 😊

@@emelienbonnier6171 strange i use the same but it just doesnt want to spread :(

About a week. If possible have doors/windows open or put it outside.

@@emelienbonnier6171 that was my big mistake. Did it in my bedroom haha. When i do my toads enclosure, it will be in the garage.
