    Default vivarium construction supplies

Do you have an opinion on what would work better?
    I used acrylic paint and titebond to make a waterfall, so it looks like rocks. I've no problem except for a bit of fading from my lights but it still works excellent. I do have both and it takes time and patience because you will have to keep applying the titebond/paint mixture until you get the color right (I did 3 or 4 coats, can't really remember). Happy building!

    They will crumble as you try to cut them. I have never had anything spontaneously grow from my tree fern panels.

    I cut tree fern panels with a rotary tool and it worked pretty well.
