Hexagon Vivarium Journal/ Advice?

I just carved the waterfall and re-did the plant things. I'm getting another can of GS to do the pond somewhere around 1 EST, so I'm stuck until then. Oh yeah, I put in the pump/false bottom/ screen. Zip ties FTW. Here's some more pictures:

About to start the pond, will post pics in a few.

Just sprayed the pond and filled the gap between the screen and background. Also dremmel'ed out a notch for the pump's power cord to go. Woohoo, almost done!

Very nice. How bout a front view?

[Badger]

Will do as soon as I get back to my mom's house (where the tank is). I forgot to take a front view, sorry

[Badger]

Ugh, I'm siliconing the background now...well atleast the pvc cave side....good god this sucks. The damn caulking gun is so hard to pull lol.anyways, that side is mainly done, waiting for it to dry enough to start another side. Worst. Part. of. the. viv....ever.

[Heatheranne]

Lol! I used the caulking gun to glue my waterfall foam together. I understand your frustrations, lol!

[Badger]

Like, holy ****. I wasn't expecting that. lol. It's quite frustrating...My hand was sooooo tired lol

[Heatheranne]

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

[Badger]

Lol, I still have 2 sides and a pond to do...

[Heatheranne]

It'll go by quickly. I still have tons to do. Just haven't had enough time lately. But, soon...

Yours is coming along nicely.

[Heatheranne]

Any front pictures up to this point yet?

[Badger]

Thanks .... I'm already planning my next build...I think for either D. Leucomelas or D. Azureus 10 gallon vert. maybe. I dunno yet. lol.

[Badger]

Alright, well I brushed off all the excess eco earth, and it looks great! forgot the camera, but luckily mom has an iPhone. Pics will be up soon.

[Badger]

Along with the front view ones

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.

[Badger]

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.
