I built the cage background for this cage and then added some really cheap silk greenery to dress it up a bit.

I agree, looks cool!

Although trying to find a little neonate spotty in there might prove complicated....

Thanks for the compliments.... it was really easy to make.
He's a breeze to find... always under the waterbowl :)
He comes out and cruises at night and goes back to the same hide everytime.

PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE .. if you use those materials, let them cure for about 6 months !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6 months????

I allowed approx 5 days after prepping the foam before appyling the first layer of grout, 24 hours between grout coats, 7 days to allow the grout to cure prior to applying any polyurethane, 3 days before installing the background in the glass cage, and then another 7 days before putting anything in the cage.

I figured those times allowed more than ample time for any fumes to dissipate and all materials to cure.
