Default Set up Help

Hello,
I'm very new to this all and am in the process of putting together an 18x18x24 Exo terra for my 2 WTF.
I will have a water feature and have the LECA clay balls that I will be using in the bottom, but do not like the look of them from the outside.
Does anyone have any ideas of how to hide these?
I bought some fish tank gravel and took some card board and placed the gravel in the front and then the clay balls on the other side trying to separate it all but I'm pretty sure in time (probably a real short time) the gravel will start the shift and everything will just get mixed up.
Any ideas would be great!

Thanks so much!

You could always paint the outside of the tank black or something, although that is ruining the tank if you ever wanted to use it for something else.

Or you could of smeared the walls inside with black silicone, but it sounds like your tank is together so that might not be an option, other then that look through the gallery at some tanks, alot of people just leave it showing, i personally didnt like that so when i built my tank i left about 5 icnches below the glass.
