    Default False bottom setup

    I was looking at the egg crates and I love how it looks, with the higher level ground area and the front water section. I noticed all the pipes setup underneath the false bottom. My terrariums are all placed in a large wooden cabinet/shelf (with a wooden backing against a wall).

    Does this set up require back access or is it cleaned through the front? I haven't read it all fully, I know. But I was at school and then right after work and I just got home and writing this then sleep.

    Thanks.

    They can be cleaned through the front.

    Water sections can be as simple or complicated as you want them to be. The False bottom (egg crate with supports to rais it up) just simply raises the main land mass up and past your intended water line. A small filter or pump in the water will provide the circulation and filtration for the water. Small water changes can be done weekly or bi weekly.
