Figured it was finally time to share my latest build, a 18x18x36 Exo, that I finished in November. I wanted this one to have as much usable space for the inhabitants as possible without sacrificing viewing areas so I went with a corner design with the wood features extending out, adding as much depth as possible. It's difficult to capture all of the depth and details in person and I'm still working on my camera skills so bear with me. It just means this will be a pic heavy thread with (hopefully) progressively better pics.
The light I'm using is the AI Prime FW with a gooseneck extension because I wanted a tighter beam to focus downwards and into the enclosure with the ability to fully control and customize the settings. I've used it before on my other display and it hasn't disappointed again. I've gotten great growth from it using 5500K spectrum at 85%.
Inhabitants are currently in the works and will hopefully be added this spring. I will be announcing what they are when I get them.

Watching this grow in has been very rewarding and it surpassed what I had envisioned so I'm quite proud of it. I hope some of you enjoy this as much as I do.
Thanks for checking it out!
