Ooh tough one. I honestly don't think there's a way to get into all those nooks and crannies. Hopefully someone with experience with this stuff wilWill chime in. I wonder if you can clean the stuff you can physically see, then maybe steam clean it?

Im not sure i prob should have thought of this before i put down the spray foam

I don't know why u would use spray foam on the whole entire tank floor...not only to clean it I'm sure it will absorb after time from going to the bathroom,which isn't healthy and just nast. Don't know why u didn't use aspen bedding.

Didn't you make a thread showing this before and, people told you it was going to be a nightmare to keep clean.

The best way to clean that mess is tear it out and do it right.
And, maybe next time listen when people don't just tell you something is a bad idea but also why it is a bad idea.

EDIT: Strike that I know you posted that mess before and were warned. So, instead of wasting everyones' time go re-read that thread.

Yep Time to tear it out, it sure does look cool though.

Good call wienkeg.
That foam, sand-less grout, non-toxic paint and non-toxic sealer can be used to create custom hides or terrarium architecture. Just not in the manner he chose.
There are a ton of video's on youtube on how to do this.
Since you like the look, learn from the very similar things others have been working with and correcting our own mistakes with for some time.

For BP's I would avoid the "stick eco-earth on the foam" ones. Those you would be throwing out too often because they can't be cleaned properly.

Yea, this is why you were told not to before hand. One pet peeve is when people ask for advice then ignore it.

The spray foam is water resistant and it is painted with non toxic acrylic paint i was just wondering what kind of cleaning product or solution i would use

Or if i put substrate over it like aspen would it be easier to clean?
