Pic of my Exo Tera 36x36x18. I used Touch n Foam Landscape for the background. I added some local driftwood and granite from the beaches. There are 14 different holes for plants. On the left hand side is a trickle waterfall. I am unsure about how large my false bottom will be yet. I would like to do a mostly land and part water/pond kind of look, but I have read mixed reviews about keeping darts with too much water? I read about 2 ways to glue the peat moss mixture to the background. Silicone or Titebond III. not sure which one is better? I also foam filled in a false wall in the back corner to hide and cords that I may need for the pump and what ever. Any suggestions or ideas would be great. Thank you.

Looks good...I see that you water tested it as well. VERY prudent as sometimes they leak.
Love those new huge Exo Terras !

I'm really liking that. Can't wait to see it planted up.
Do you know where your frogs have been?

I can't really say that one way is better than the other for securing the material to the background. I personally have only used GE silicone II

I've only used silicone myself as well.
It's looking really nice. What frogs do you have in mind for it?
