    OK after looking over what I wanted to do I had to lower the sub-floor by 1 inch or less (remove 2 square rows from egg crate). I wanted to make sure the substrate does not slide out the front door LOL. This will also make it easier to line the out side edge around the false floor with stone. I also used black GE silicone II to cover the back of the vivarium. Some say this helps with the Great Stuff sticking to the glass, some say it does not matter. I did it so the back of the tank from the outside has a finish look. Will post Pics...

    So I did some more work on my vivarium and I can see some future problems. One my sub-floor got stuck . My fault after I add silicone to the back wall and I place the sub-floor in to see what it looked like. I did not take it out and went to bed. Well it stuck to the back. Pushing forward I Great Stuff the back wall last night and cover it tonight. After covering the GS I see I should have used weed-blocker not screen. So I'm going to double layer the screen so the substrate will not fall through to easy. Every day is a learning experience ..!
