Ordered the tank from amazon.com - came with broken doors :-(. Amazon wanted me to send it back for a refund but reconsidered that shipping a bunch of broken glass back wasn't such a smart idea. Anyhow, got started on the hardscape, hoping to get replacement doors from Exo Terra at some point. Can't remember how many times I called and got told that they should be "arriving within the week". Yeah. Not really. So went ahead and stripped the plastic frame off the glass, measured glass and got it cut at a local store and siliconed it in. It's not perfect and took several tries to get the gaps right to open/close the tank, but finally it's working....
Tank has been up and running for a couple of weeks to grow in - thinking to wait another few days to introduce my group of 5 leucs.
Here some construction pics (was actually nice to work on that tank without the doors in the way :-)
Hardscape is mainly tree fern and cork bark with some seed pods siliconed and gaps filled with great stuff smeared with coco/silicone mix:
