Okay so Christmas was good to me this year. I was able to snag an Exoterra 24x18x24 earlier this week. So the plan this time is to mount the rock wall onto eggcrate so that it can be removed from the terrarium and more importantly so that it can be built OUTSIDE of the terrarium. I plan on using a Velcro strip at the top of the rock wall on the back to secure it to the glass. This rock wall will also be incorporating a water fall. This is a first for me with the rock walls so we'll see how it goes. I plan on using a false bottom and already have that cut and fitted (i'll be adding the lifts later). On the left side of the tank I have created a pump box. I plan on lining this with nylon screen so that the pump does not become clogged. I am also planning on trying 100% Portland Cement for the concrete.
Awesome! I just ordered that exact size exo Three days ago!
It's sweet! You won't be disappointed! I was pleasantly surprised by the thickness of the glass - it's all pretty heavy duty with the exception of the doors - not that they need any additional heft since they are not load bearing.

Great! I'm used to heavy duty glass. (my one foot cube has 4 mm glass )
Did I miss rock wall one? or was it #2 that I missed?
I'm really not even there yet in my mind - planting is where I kind of fall apart. I really want to get some colorful neos this time. I definitely want to ensure that the rock wall /waterfall are visible through the jungle this time!
Home Depot carries the industrial strength velcro. I used it on my 120g. It held up good on the side that wasn't very heavy but the side that has the slate rock GS'd into the background is pulling away. The adhesive is pulling away from the velcro. Going to have to re-do that eventually.
Can't wait to see this one done. Your tanks always look good.
