Your making great time! I built a 300 gal paludarium in my kitchen once (I am a bachelor) it took almost 6 months of planning! Then all the cutting and silicone. Then rock. Then wood. Then plants. Then fish. Then, finally, an amazon tree boa. Total time spent @ three and a half years. When I was done it was too big to move so it was in my kitchen. Permanently. Your doing great. Please post pics as you progress.

I have made some progress! Had a few hiccups that set me back a bit but heres an update! Just need to find something safe to use as a painting medium to make the foam look more like rock lol
