The hardest bit is to dry the bloomin' substrate for the background .. It's been drying for three weeks now. Thankfully the weather picked up so the top layer dries within minutes. Even so, for two days I keep mixing it and it never seem to dry properly .. We shall see.

Re: Prepping for a BCI - time to build a Bio Active Enclosure ...
First one covered ... holy bleep does that require a lot of silicone ... One panel = three tubs .... Glad I bought 24 or so but still .... somewhat unexpected ... and I still got gaps on this one

Looking great though!

I think 98% of spots covered - pretty proud of my very first background if I am honest.

Oh and the sides are not covered on purpose. Once the panels are mounted in the viv I will close the gaps with foam and effectively connect the panels and viv itself in addition to the screws (and cover said screws of course).
The good thing is that I know where the screws are (in fact I will make a picture once hung up and pre-coverage) so I can take a knife to if boards need to come off.

That's 30 litres or 6.6 UK / 8 UK gallons
It will have a drain and pump with filter - assuming I go with waterfall - not 100% yet ... I got all the material but need to mock that also up to decide.
PS: That isn't the substrate for the snake - that's background soil as I am using the viv to build those.
Acrylic for waterbowl arrived. Hole for drain a bit too small so need to widen it but apart from that - looking good.
