 Rockwall questions!!!

Hi people, im new to the forum and need a wee bit of guidance......

Im going to build me a new tank and rock wall for my BP, Howard!

Couple of questions:

1. Is Polystyrene an OK material to use?
2. Is using hot glue to fix to tank essential? Or can a strong adehsive be used?

Feel free to post pictures of your tanks / walls and give me any tips on the making of a wall. i have built tanks befor, altho this will be my first rockwall!!!

Thanks

polystyrene is totally fine for reptiles. when adhering your rock wall you may want to use Velcro instead. it gives it a sturdy backing and if you need to clean it its removable. But if you want to stick it, then i would use liquid nails instead of hot glue.
