I add substrate, compressing it as I add it, then once it is the height of the spacers I press them in until the legs sit on the bottom of the enclosure, add the rocks making sure they are sitting sturdy , then add the rest of the substrate. I used to do as I do in aquariums and make structures using smaller rocks as pylons to hold the larger rocks up to form caves. That adds a lot to the weight, in an aquarium this is okay because you never move a full aquarium but in a little enclosure it adds to the weight dramatically.</blockquote>
