Default Finished the 10 Gallon Terrerium!

Alright! So I just finished my small 10 gallon trial tank. I have a small waterfall on the back side of it with a pond on the right. What do you guys think? It took me about a week to make it. (sorry for the poor picture qualities...) Any advice would be great because I could always use some tips for the next building projects!






*******EDIT********

Here's a picture of the large tank that I'm working on. This is an old picture and since this was taken I have siliconed the sides and created a false bottom for it.

That looks great! I am about to begin a 10-gallon project. Could you tell us more details about construction?

do you have a barrier between your soil and rocks? if you dont over a short period of time your soil will pack into the drainage layer and clog things up, leaving you with soggy substrate. I couldnt tell from the pics so I thought I would ask.
