dude if that pipe down the side is your own creation, i would seriously patent that. its a killer brilliant way to water the enclosure w/o disturbing its occupants.

Thanks Sir,

It just sits on top. Notice that the two sides of the enclosure is a little bit higher together with the four screws at the corner, all serves as a guide to maintain its position.
