    I didn't do it all in one go. The false bottom took a couple of days. Cutting and gluing the tree fern panels for the background took a night+a few days of curing. Drilling the lid glass took a while, as did getting all of the mistking setup. Getting the vent right took quite a while too. Substrate and the outer facia of gravel took a few hours too due to the heat cable setup and planting. The terrarium looked pretty bare until the plants grew in. I had been designing/planning this terrarium for a year (!).
