XL Exo-Terra Build

[Riptide]

Not a huge update but I'm making progress on the biocube. I should have the background completed tonight then I'll get some glass cut for the lid tomorrow.

1st coat was just TB3 and peat to create a super dark layer.


2nd coat is TB3/coco fiber/sphagnum.

yesterday I was able to get the glass cut for the biocube lid so now I will be able to move forward getting it set up a little quicker.

I also received my new Mistking system for the Exo-terra build I'm excited to try this system out, It can't be any louder than my current monsoon system (the thing sounds like a jet engine kicking on) but I'll be exstatic if it ends up being quieter! Anyone have any experiences they want to share about the sound level of the mistkings?

I love my Mistking. You can't even hear the pump running when it kicks on! You're going to love it!

background is looking good so far!

That's great to hear! I'm looking forward to getting it set up and running!

Thank you I have to add the last coat tonight to patch up a few bare areas then I should be good to let it set for a few days and finish curing. The room the tank is in is a little on the cooler side (~65 degrees) so it's taking a while to cure fully. Hopefully by monday i should be ready to plant it!

It's not loud. Put the motor on a folded towel
Keep the tubing from banging/vibrating on the tank/trim .
Interesting --- I recently purchased three new mist heads---they have a finer spray compared to my older ones.
You will wonder what you would have done without it !
Enjoy
You enclosure looks great?
