Recommendation on micromount display boxes with clear bottom

I had been using micromount boxes bought from MIKON/Shannon Family Minerals, but it has been a long time since they only offer second grade MM boxes. Does anyone have any recommendations on where to get MM boxes of a similar style, preferably with clear bottom and lid?

    What kind of plant are you going to add to the terrarium? Moss and epiphytic plants don't need much soil, while "normal"(terrestrial) plants need different soil thickness depending on how deep the roots grow.

    In addition, with a terrarium of such size, I would recommend having a thicker drainage layer. Larger terrariums need more water to create the high humidity; a thick drainage layer could store more water without soaking the soil.
