Converted fish tanks can make appropriate reptile vivariums if heated and thermo controlled properly. If the room temperature is kept in control and the heat lamp within the vivarium keeps the hot spot ample while providing a cool end, there is no problem. The reason some keepers are quick to throw the tired, old line of fish tanks are for fish is because they haven't seen a converted aquarium set up properly or believe that it can be done. It just takes a lot of work in southern or lower eastern Australia to control the temperature gradient accurately in a all glass terrarium. But just look at many styles of URS vivariums available for reptiles, which are top to bottom all glass. Again if you know what your doing with proper hides and temperature reptiles will thrive.
