[QUOTE="Lady Arachnid, post: 57406, member: 4198"] I've gathered a lot of ideas online. YouTube is very helpful! I made mine out of an old 10 gallon tank. I have Avics, so my tank is oriented vertically. The bottom glass was shattered so I made this first one with double doors. I divided it in the center. One half is for my larger juvenile, and the other half I have my other two in separate small critter keepers. I like the acrylic. It's clearer than glass,very light, and easy to work with. The down side is, it can crack easily when drilling, and it can scratch easier then glass. I drilled holes with an acrylic drill bit and still cracked mine in places. You have to be very careful so it doesn't crack/shatter while drilling. If it does, the plus side is that you can fix it. It's a little ugly, but fixable. [/QUOTE]
