Thanks HX.
Thanks for sharing.

Very nice job with both the stone and the stump. The irregularity makes it nice and natural. You have also filled in with nice masses towards low front instead of just making a plane to the backwall. A lot of people consider it waste of space, but I think it really makes the difference. There is no waste of space, only too small tanks. No pun intended...
I wouldn't worry about the monotonity of the color of the stone. In terrariums kept humid the grout gets more tones from organic waste/life eventually.
I often find the organic coloring much more naturalistic than trying to add many colors to the grout.

Again, good job.
