4x2x2 Bioactive for my Brazilian rainbow

I'm getting ready to put together a bioactive enclosure for my rainbow boa, Gandalf. And thought I'd keep track of my progress on here. If that's a bad thing, I apologize.

And some ghostwood. These are pretty good size, I think I like this arrangement, but I need to mess around a bit with this.
They are pretty good size though.

Hey! I recognize your photos from the Facebook bioactive group I'm in. I'm super excited to see how this turns out for you! Do you plan on introducing clean up crew bugs?

That's a very pretty BRB ... I love his light colouration !!

Incidentally I kept mine very successful in long EXO Terra tanks with a base mix of Eco-earth X orchid bark and had a layer of lush , rooted moss all over the top . Lots of branches of course .

Good looking boy!! I'm currently shopping for a BRB so now I'm a little jealous, hahaha. I'll be looking forward to seeing updates on this thread.

I'm planning on isopods, springtails, and a couple cool looking millipedes.

Those prayer plants you have are probably going to get mushed.

I've found out in my research that in spite of there apparent robustness, they're really just wusses. I had already decided they weren't as good an option as I had hoped. Lol

Following.

Trying to get ideas on arranging the wood. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...98ca88b971.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...abb5e0458e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ad262436c5.jpg

Ali says it should be here next week! I can't wait. I spent a while today repotting plants. And have been doing various mockups.
Hopefully, I'll make some actual progress next weekend.

Making a little progress. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e9a85df784.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...dcdfbce07a.jpg

I rotated the pic, so technically, it's upside down, but it's not really. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...18c72d328e.jpg

Trying to figure out how to do an accessible water dish on the cool side. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...46e08a709f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e66e3f7b71.jpg

Very nice! I think a BRB is in my future and I absolutely love the look of bioactive. I remember as a child sitting there and drawing countless different setups in my notebook. This is something I’ll definitely be following :)

I like how the cool side dish turned out. It's easy to get in and out too. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c8d2e16575.jpg

It will be all sanded and coated with silicone and eco earth. It shouldn't be too difficult.

I'm excited about how this corner is turning out. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b376d1d098.jpg

Sanding tomorrowhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f35a7bc7c4.jpg

The front corner will get finished when I put the front onhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...da1ce8410a.jpg

Almost there.
Couldn't figure out where to put the thermostat, but this should work. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...956fd05939.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...337bd21465.jpg
