It will be good to see pics as the build progresses. Looking good so far.
Is this in the 20gal or 60gal?

Looks like some good rock work. I'm working on a build at the moment, I'll pop up some photos of mine when I have something nearly completed. :)

Yea it didn't take that long to get the rock your down. But it was still a pain lol. NICE:D how big of a tank are you working on? And what type of scrubs are you going to keep in there? Can't wait to see some pics....

It looks really cool! I want to set myself up a REALLY nice viv. I did once when I had a leucomelas but it got out somehow. I want to try it again sometime though, I'd have a waterfall, an automatic misting system, live plants, sphagnum peat as the bedding, 5.0 UVB, frog moss around the bases of the live plants, maybe a bonsai or 2 and some other stuff. PLEASE keep us posted it looks great so far!

You should definitely should do that,your animals will thank you! :D

One problem though-Peat is too acidic for most plants apart from heather and other heathland plants.Coco fibre mixed with decomposing leaves (for the fungi,bacteria,and nutrients and some sand (depending on the drainage your plants will need) is probably your best bet.
