Default fake rock to glass

fake rock to glass just grout the back to the glass?

ive done wooden vivs and made it on one or two pieces and just sealed it to the walls but obviously you can see nasty grout on the glass do you just have to deal with that?

i was thinking of exactly the same thing today, the only thing i came to think about was to put something onto the outside of the glass aswell, it could end up looking cool lol.

I have seen black silicone used on some 'natural vivarium' sites, to coat the glass prior to adding wood/plants etc, again using the black silicone to stick the decorations.

Once all is dry, the excess silicone is cut/scraped away. All that is seen from outside is black, gives a very clean and professional look.

Cheers

Mark

Yup, vivaria in tasteful paisley. Or the colours of the football team of your choice...
