Like many people I too was expecting just a room filled with some tanks and such...

It's good to be wrong sometimes.

Here is a quick update. I've started the base coat for the wall backgrounds. It is very time consuming due to the amount of wall to cover and I don't have a whole lot of time to work on it. Seems like weekends are all I get these days and I'm lucky at that. These 2 shots are of the upper wall with 2 coats of grout over the base foam frame. I am keeping these fairly simple compared to the lower part of the walls because I don't think they will get nearly as much activity on them, mostly just plants. After one more coat of grout, if it seems strong enough, and I like what I see, I plan to use a mixture of red sculpting clay, peat, and some sphagnum moss, to fill in cracks and smear on various parts of the surface to create more depth and hopefully give some plants places to anchor.

Aim your camera at a flat white piece of cardboard so it fills the entire viewing area.

Lux = 50 * f-number² / (exposure time in seconds * ISO film speed)
