Hey again Frog Forum!

With the Mantella safely in their new home I am considering converting the now empty 40B tank into a vertical. I have looked over the threads for converting a 10 or 20G tank into a vertical. My Main concern with using this technique on a 40B is the size the door piece will be (all the vertical conversions I have seen have the door piece folding down from the top). My current thought is to find a way to do a split door on the tank.

One idea I had was to secure a piece of glass siliconed to one side (just a couple inches) and then attach the door piece to that. I will need to put a lot more thought into this though... One potential issue is the door would be to heavy and the small piece of glass would pull free.

Anyone else attempt to convert a larger tank (such as this 40b) into a vertical tank? How did you tackle the door? How did you build the screen/vent section at the top of the tank?

Thanks all for you input as I explore what it would take to do this and see if it is something I will tackle or not.
