Outworld substrate/ground ideas

Hello everyone,
After the whole debacle with a colony moving into a natural dirt setup in an outworld, I need new ideas for what to use. I have just the empty outworld since my ants are hibernating right now and was thinking that it would be a great time to fill it with something. I’m thinking like acrylic, but that could be a bad idea. Does anyone have any ideas, or things that you have used in outworlds?
Thanks,
Idahoantguy
P.S. I just found grout as an idea in the internet, anyone had any experiences with that.

I think I have told you my experience with grout in outworlds before. Cracks easy and will probably fall out of the outworld (mine did.)
Cement would work better.

Ooh! Ok so I just saw ants canadas new video with the golden play button. What about using aquarium background as an outworld floor? Like the stuff that Miley used in his Golden play button nest. I think it would work and look awesome! You can probably drill or carve holes in it to glue fake plants, you could also glue rocks on it. I totally want to try it!
