 Foam waterfalls/backgrounds

I am trying to make a new waterfall in my vivarium with dart frogs... Ive seen the foam backrounds and I believe ZooMed makes them as well-Does anybody know what kind of foam is used to make those backrounds/waterfalls! Im trying to find a "block" of it so I can make my own...!!!

A lot of people use regular ol styrofoam, for sheets go to home depot or lowes. You can easily glue pieces together to make blocks. For more info on do it yourself backgrounds Google DIY background. I’m sure you could use the same concept; cement/sealer, for waterfalls and such. Just make sure it’s non-toxic supplies and let it air dry really good.

I use the foam Habiscape backgrounds by Pet Tech. They are great. Look at mine!
I combined 2 1/2 rockwalls as they only come in certain sizes and customized it to fit my 4 foot tall tank. I glued them together to make one large wall and painted it at the end to make it look seamless and like one piece. I also added ledges to it and a waterfall. I will be adding more waterfalls to it soon so that the whole wall bleeds with water! Check it!
