Nice! I set up my first 29 g terrarium about 3 months ago and it's been a lot of fun to play with. Fiberglass window screen or coarse tulle fabric work well to cover a false bottom, and won't break down over time like moss will. Also, you should either keep a low area uncovered or put in a standpipe to siphon out accumulated water from time to time. The higher-tech way to accomplish this is drilling the bottom to install a bulkhead with drain valve, which requires a bit more time and equipment for the initial setup but saves time and effort in the longer term.

Check out dendroboard.com sometime, it's one of the largest and best forums for info on terrarium construction.
