Well it's day 2 of my Vivarium build. Been working alot getting the framing together and the fogger plumbing installed. My Wife is in the beginning stage of a rock stucture/corner hide. It is still in the very beggining stages of being made, so it will be probably a few more days until its actually finished. The rest of the Vivarium will take serious work and time to finish, but I've been working alot on it. Approx $500 of supplies and equiptment purchased so far into this build. Of course that much product is not displayed in these pics. Well hope you like what I have done so far.

It looks like you are getting it together. Once you are finished, would you mind posting a thread in the DIY section with the complete process, materials, and cost?

Thanks bro. There is alot more done now. And the rock just needs to be painted. But it is awesome. My wife did nothing but work on it the last 2 days. It just needs paint and mod padge to finish it off. Then she will start working on the waterfall that will go into a waterbowl pond. Decided to nix the river cause its not needed. Plus it is easier to change the water. So Im gonna go with function over a little more style. But it is all sealed and about to get another paint job. I will post more pics in a few days.

mod padge? what is that?

and what is this?

[VEXER19]

Mod padge is a water based sealant that is non toxic. It makes the grout and paint on the styrofoam safe from water. That is what all my styrofoam rocks will be covered with even the waterfall pond. It can hold water. And the other thing is inside the vivarium on each side wall in the top back corners and there will be one more on the floor. Those are connected to the PVC pipes and is where the fogger fog will be coming out of. So in plain the humidity/fog will come out of those and give the smokey effect.
