Thanks guys for the feedback. I have come to realize I could do the 3/16 acrylic and actually make a 24x24x48 tank by itself. This makes more sense to me since i can use the exo terra as a Rain chamber.... Perfect Idea guys.. The 48x96 acrylic would only need to be cut 3 times to make 4 pieces of 24x48. This would work out perfect.. Now all I need to do is figure out the door and the hood section... I was also thinking this would be great because I can add plumbing to the bottom of the acrylic.... I would make the bottom piece about 3-5 inches above the bottom so i can run a drain tube underneath the tank.. This sounds perfect and Im very excited about starting it.... Thanks agian Josh
