First attempt at building a fake background.

If I do screen at the bottom and at the top I might just just screen clips all around the glass to make it easy to take out to mist during the day

That would work well. There are a lot of nice handles to make it look pretty cool too. I like the plexi or lexan for the front over glass lately since its lighter and less likely to have sharp edges after cut.

Only thing with the plastics is easier to scratch and make hazy looking if you ever clean it with something abrasive.

Won't a plastic get "floppy" as the length of it increases though. I figured doing like 1 1/2 inch screen on the top and bottom

Tank is set-up how I want it some things changed for the better I think, GS is drying will upload pictures in the morning.

na, you can get pretty studry plexi or acrylic and the thicker the stiffer. Also the clearer the more expensive.

Before I forget, don't cut the door until you have installed the bottom section of glass and top and bottom screens. You just never know if your frames are slightly larger or smaller until make and installed.

Here is a great pic of how someone did the screens. Oh, I would do 1 1/2 inch at bottom and at least 4 inch of screen at top.
Bottom glass maybe 4 inches high.

Having the screen at the bottom help in airflow but also will help in reducing the humidity since the more closed the more humidity is retained. The ones pictured in my pics keep about 90 percent which would be to much for tree frogs.

Yeah that's why I figured doing a screen at the bottom and at the top. So your saying I should do roughly 2 inch screen at the bottom and like 4 at the top

Yes. Air flows in and out easier and if ever needed, a fan can be aimed at the top or bottom to cool or create more airflow.
