Well since nobody in this joke of a country sells eggcrate sheets I found something even better!
It's 50/50/8(in cm) and the seller sais it's for pigeon cages but i dont really care!
They are sturdy as hell, I tested them by standing on one of em and it did in fact hold! And I am 188 pounds of mean, ugly faced, body mass.
Will update on the waterfall and background and soon on the DIY WORKING mist sistem.
Project can go on!
P.S the terrarium is 140(not 120)/50/50.

Quick question: Does anyone use lucky bamboo(Dracaena Sanderiana) in their vivs?
I hear it's somewhat toxic to cats and dogs but does not release toxins in water so I was thinking of using some in my frog viv.

Oh and do you really need to put epoxy over grout? I was thinking of using 3 layers of grout on my backgrounds/waterfall and just leave it like that without the resin.

Finished the background and waterfall and added first layer of grout. Will finish with 3 layers of eco lacquer(floor varnish) and sprinkle fine sand over the last coat of varnish to kill the shine of it.
Will be posting photos soon.

So I got a couple of netpots Click the image to open in full size. that I intend to stick on the background and wood, etc to pot my bromeliads and plants ingeneral.
My question is should I wash all the dirt from the roots and just put the plant in the pot with no soil or can I leave the soil on the roots and stick it in the pot as it is?

You want to use a AGB mix or something that is well draining....but has some nutrients...im using turface,pool filter sand, and fluval stratum...

Thanks for the tip.
I suspect that the nutrients would be gone pretty fast tho, how often should it be changed?
Also can anyone ID this plant? Got it from a neighbour who wanted to get rid of it and since it reminded me of a plant I saw somewhere in someones terrarium I took it.
Plant used to look like this:
