Ok so I've seen all these really cool looking out worlds and I'd love to make one with the fake plants and all but with all the extra stuff in there it just makes cleaning too much of a hassle. So I make it simple but functional. Started with that display case I had, laid some slate flooring tiles I had left over from a job (broke them into pieces) and put them on the bottom (stacked to give an elevation to it, then I mixed up some plaster of paris and poured it in and around the pieces. I then poured a little water in and worked the surface to get it soft and poured in some play sand and swished it around allowing it to attach where it was wet. I dumped out the extra and then with a wet paper towel I tamped it into place to set the sand. I let it set for about an hour and wiped off the extra sand and trimmed the two entry tubes (one will go to the hybrid nest and the other will be plugged and used for later expansion).
I think it will work for me and should be pretty easy to clean plus the flat areas where the slat is will allow food placement and also a place to set the test tube when they are ready to move in (also will be a place to place a water tube later.
