Bought some tiles to replace sand

[mbrown29]

I've heard bad things about sand as substrate so I just bought some tiles from Lowes ($0.88 per 6X6 tile). I had to get a guy at Lowes to cut the tile to size since they don't exactly sell the exact sizes I needed to fit a 10 gallon 20"X10" and painted them with Rust-oleum Stone textured paint and coated with a polyurethane. I'm pretty happy with how it came out . That was the first thing I've DIY-ed for the vivarium. I want more ideas! :-D
