Homemade Viv. 
Large Viv 56" wide, 40" high and 24" deep.  The plywood tank was painted with water potable epoxy from Aquatic Ecosystem. The cost of the epoxy was $77 because of the hazardous shipping charge.

View of the expandable foam that was applied to the viv.  Holes were cut in the foam in order to plant orchids and bromeliads.

View of the viv after siliconing dried sheet moss (purchased from Lowes Hardware). I opted for the moss instead of peat moss or coco fibers so I didn't have to cover every nook and cranny with silicone. The white spots are the holes for the plants.
