    Thanks! I think I'm going to try what this guy did.

    My tank is a 20H Tetra, 24x12x16 (I think). I like the idea of having the back and both sides covered, so I'll start with 1 1/2 inch styrofoam and, by the time I'm done with it, it should be smaller.

    I may have to Great Stuff some plant holders in, though.

    Had not watched Robc's videos from time got started with tarantulas a couple years ago. Do wear eye and breathing protection when doing that. A wire could come loose off that wheel at anytime and they do not sell spare eyes at stores.

    Also, recommend prepare a slurry with dry EcoEarth and Titebond III to cover sculptured foam slab. It will be far easier and less messier than using silicone glue. Can find how to do it in this Bill's build thread. Good luck !
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
