Here is my current setup, which isn't 100% complete yet.

Lighting: (1) 160w PowerSun, (1) 120w Flood, (1) 13x CFL
Heating: PowerSun for daytime, 60w CHE for nighttime (when needed)
Substrate: 12x12 tile
Backdrop: 2" thick foam insulation coated with several layers of non-sanded grout

I've still got a few things to do to get this one to where I want it but I'm planning on building a second identical enclosure that I can link up to the current one within the next few weeks.

That is nice! It really looks like you went the extra mile and turned out a really sweet enclosure. It's great not to see any light fixtures, dangling wires, tupperware, or ceramic potted plants. Any pics of the build in progress; the enclosure or the rockwall?

Appreciated! My main goal was to make it as clean as possible while retaining complete and proper functionality for my uros. I'd say I did pretty well for my first go at it :) I should have taken images along the way but unfortunately I was too much 'in the zone' to even think about it....I even just recently churned out a second six footer (comes home tonight) which is virtually identical in form with the obvious differences lying in size and background. If you want to see the tenants just drop by the ornate forum :)
