why not just get the great stuff from home depot or lowes.

Its yellow and obviouse if it creeps through the cracks. The pond kind is black/greyish and not as obviouse

. Just WAY more $$$ for some reason, I guess since its used for a hobby they stick it to us!

cause the pond foam has the carbon additive in it that makes it more UV safe, so it is less likely to break down. yes i am aware of coating it w/ epoxy & sand (which i am planning on doing)....just want that lil bit of extra protection the black adds
