You can cover the outside of the glass with matte black vinyl to hide the paint mishaps! It’s easy to install and won’t require you to move the cabinet outside. It comes in different colors, textures, and patterns if you’re interested in a pop of color.

Building out a cabinet like this is a dream! I have focused my creative energy into sprucing up the vivarium for my crested gecko. So a cabinet would be that on steroids 😂 I would suggest adding springtails! They’re an additional clean-up crew to the isopods.. focusing on mold-like growth and isopod waste. Also.. adding charcoal to the substrate if you didn’t already! Good for mold prevention and the springtails love it.

Last year I built a full custom one, 7ft-6ft-4ft with a jungle floor bottom , a 55g tank of water with fish and aquatic plants and stuff and a river and 2 water falls. IT WAS A HASSLE! I had to take it apart and re build it 4 times bc of leaks and I almost gave up. Thank fully the last rebuild was the perfect one and now I’m a year in with no problems and I love it
