 Posted: Sun Jul 09, 2006 9:23 pm Post subject: more converted fish tanks |
 |
|
no 1 is a 24x12x12 on its site
cut one of the sitepanels out and cut a 4 inch strip if for the front
the rest goes back into its original place and the cap on top is covered by a mesh to make a vent
very simple and cheap as chips
No 2 is 18 wide by 15 deep and 30 high
i cut appart a whole 30x12x15 tank and used a spare 18x30 class i had spare for the back
its the same principle as the smaller viv but i had to build it from scratch and botch a bit on top as i was running out of material.
some of the 6 mm glass didn't cut as nicely as the 4 mm and my glass cutter has seen better days

Good job! My pal has experimented like that for his Dendrobates vivs too. Can work really well.
