Show me pics of your ATB enclosures, I need ideas!

Alright guys, since its going to be a couple weeks before my heat panel gets here, I have some time to design and build its enclosure that it'll probably live in for a while. It's a pvc 4x2x15" enclosure so give me some ideas of how to set up a canopy or things to wrap around and perch in, how big of a bowl, etc.

My tarantula guy (where I got it and my Colombian rainbow) said I should throw in some isopods and build a forest floor'esque design so they'd take care of the waste and help keep the floor clean but I dunno if I want to do that or just paper towels for ease of cleanup.

The whole point of having a bioactive setup is so that you don't have to clean it except maybe for huge messes. That's what the isopods and springtails do for you.

I can show you a picture of my bioactive setup, but there's a disclaimer. I'm moving her out of it very soon because I find it hinders proper care. Try finding a poop sample in a forest of plants, and that's if it doesn't drop into the water section first.

Anyway, here it is.



Edit: and obviously this is an ETB, not an ATB

Oh man that's a pretty setup. Will a bioactive setup not wear out pvc or is it resistant to all the water and live stuff as glass?

The edges need sealed, but besides that, itll be fine.
