    Hopefully you don't have to work with it much more. Although I purchased my silicone the same way.

    Your tank is coming out great, can wait to see the waterfall/pond in action! I have a hug 75g octagon tank I've been sitting on, trying to decide what I want to put in it so I have an idea of how I want to build it. Thanks for the ideas, cant wait to see it all done. Yes building a terrarium is the most fun part but like you said waiting for it all to dry is the worst part.

    WOOHOO that one went a lot easier. so, the reason it was so hard to pull was there was some stuff stuck in the nozzle of said silicone tube, so it was extremely hard to pull. I was not just a wimp. So, here's some picture. Note the front view, is not really front. it is top. Whatchya think?

    Sorry bout the low quality, iPhone cameras are only 2 megapixels compared to the 12 on the real camera.

    Haha, thanks for the comments and compliments. If you like the look of the huge tree stump/trunk in the middle of the tank there is a nice way to go. you could put some terrestrial darts in there. or a bunch of wood frogs. But I like using the vertical aspect of mine. White's are one of the coolest looking frogs ever

    Very nice! It's hard to see the waterfall from this view. Great job!

    Some moss on the bottom, and vine's hanging down the back drop would really give this tank a more natural look!

    Great walk through, thanks for taking the time!

    No problem, thanks for the advice! I actually siliconed some vines in last night. I'm leaning away from moss due to the impaction risk, Maybe leaf litter will do the trick?
