| | | Half a day and a hundred (NEW PICS ADDED OF 98% FINISH)
I spent about $100 and about 7-8 hours to make this, it is 4 x 2 x 2 feet and all it needs is to have the heat and light fittings added and the glass doors put on.
Not to shabby ey?
Cheers, Alan. |

not bad going sherman,
what sort of wood have you used to build this cool tank? any chance of a breakdown list of materials you have used?
always handy to have an idea of what other people are keeping their beasties in. |

| | | | The top and bottom are malamine.
The sides and back are pine tongue in groove slats.
I also used 5mm glass tracking for the glass doors (yet to be added) which will be 4mm glass. |

| | | | Yeah, i was tossing up between 4 and 5 mm glass. So i think i will go for the 5mm glass.
Thanks Africa. |

I have found 6mm is often cheaper coz they use more of it.

have you considered using it vertically instead of horizontally to give him some height instead of width? I know a re-think of the doors would be in order. Just wondering what other people's thoughts are in regard to giving height over width for a large Carpet.
Cheers, Greg. | | |
