styrofoam backgrounds

[sayeau]

hi all

i am thinking of doing a styrofoam background for some of my tanks but were can i get styrofoam. and what kind is safe for my fish.

How about contacting your local grocery store's fish department.
I bet they get thier fish sent to them in it and then just discard of it after.

Good way to get styrofoam boxes to use when transporting your own fish too should you buy/sell any.

I got mine from Home Depot.  Huge 8 foot sheets, 2 inches thick, 24?? inches wide of the plain white stuff.  Take a couple and glue them together and start carving.  I can't remember the price, but it was pretty cheap.

I second Home Depot.  The sheets garnpet is talking about are about $8.

Go to where the insulation is.  It's in that aisle, likely at the very RIGHT of the store, past the wood.

Yup chris is right... insulation..right side of the store. near the lumber.    I think theres one store in Ottawa that actually has the lumber and insulation at the left and I think its the one on bank street.

Correct. The one at Bank near the LCBO Warehouse has the Styrofoam on the left side of the store about 3/4 of the way down the building on the back side of the rack behind the pink fibreglass insulation.
