I think he is talking about a wooden panel to hide most/some of the substrate...

Yeah I used 2 Eco Bricks and about 160lbs of sand in my 55g, the substrate is about 10" thick I think (maybe a bit more) or ~25cm.

Other than that what an amazing setup! I'm crazy jealous.......you make me want to upgrade already and I just got my crabs in my 55g :(

Did you build the tank your self? It seems custom as I've never seen a tank that size/shape with doors on it like that.

The tank is made by somebody else, thats why he fits correct in the corner, just the way I wanted :)
The logs came from a fair a reptile fair.
My hermits really like the tank, they climming all day are sitting in the tree's :p
