    Default Need some help with ideas on this tank, want to alter it



    I'm thinking about cutting off the top 2/3 of the top all the way across, or maybe just cutting huge windows in it from the front and the sides, and then I can get at the tank for cleaning, wouldn't ever work to hold many fish again, but would be better for a fat frog This would be my back up tank, after I build my big setup with the pond goop stuff. I would at least leave the bottom tube intact, and maybe just cut the front but leave the sides on so he feels more safe? ideas? I already have the water set up to only go to the one side, so its dry on the other side. Its just such a pretty tank, I hate to sell it to get rid of it, but I don't see myself keeping anything but fat frogs in the near future if I had tree-frogs, I'd of course keep it the way it was... please any info would be appreciated, bought the dremmel to alter it today

    wow...that tank has SO much potential. you could actually build 2 tanks, one theme, multispecies, yet separated. is the problem with accessibility? i only ask because i'm not sure exactly why you would want to alter such a cool tank? you have the opportunity to do what a lot of people would love to do, put 2 species together sharing a common landscape, yet never have physical contact with each other. it could be awesome!!

    that would be really cool with the multi species, just so hard to clean it, no accessability, sharp real volcanic rock juts out so you have to twist your arm to clean it which is why I was thinking convert it to a setup for fat frogs, like pixies, ect. but two species is pretty cool

    can the rock be removed? or modify the tank to the point of removing the rock? unless you like the rock, then um, nevermind

    here are a few pics of what I did so far,,, made my first cutout, one thing I could do, is close off the tubes and make the right tank a fish tank, left the frog tank, but I think it would drive my frog nuts to not be able to get at them in the tube.... here are the pics
