    It's finished! Soil mixed and seperated from the drainage layer, plants treated and placed, lights are on. There are still a few finishing touches I have to put on it(screen over the ventilation holes at the top, magnetic or other means of keeping half the screen on top down to prevent escapes, and putting some sphagnum moss around for aesthetics.), it has been planted. Only 3 plants are in this, since it's not a huge vivarium. An unidentified Dracaena species, an Austral Gem Fern(Hybrid fern), and a heart-leaf philodendron cutting. It's a fairly basic, but it looks pretty good. It should look a bit better with some more decor and the moss and some time to grow in. I feel like maybe I should add another plant...
    Anyway, pictures!!

    The frogs are in!! Soon after my last post I added 2 more plants, a spider plant and my marble queen Pothos. Here are some pictures!!

    View of the whole vivarium. Looks a bit better with more plants.


    One of the larger frogs sitting on the backing. The backing seems to be a big hit


    One of the larger frogs on a log. They blend in pretty well on the cork logs.


    Finally there's this, just a cool shoot I took. They don't seem to have trouble with the inward slant of the top bin as I worried about!
    Thanks for taking a look! I may make another sterilite bin Viv some time in the future after rethinking my design
