Hello all! New to here but not to forums. Came across this site and thought it had alot of great info, so I registered. Heres what my daughter and I ended up with:

Picked up a ratty looking aquarium the other day. It was free. Spent alot of time cleaning the glass. Sanded down the cabinet and painted it. Also painted the upper and lower trim of the glass.





Didn't get any "during the process" pictures but here it is after the tank/stand got a little TLC



When we lived up in Maryland, I cut off this big piece of drift wood with a chain saw and kept it. Finally found a use for it! Took all week to clean and dry. I used 1:9 ratio bleach/water. Did the fresh water soak 3 times, then let it dry in the hot Florida sun:....btw, this big 50lbs piece fit inside the tank perfect



After it was ready, we made a trip to Hobby Lobby and got some fake stuff to add into the mix. Give the little guys a bunch of places to hide. Everything was soaked in fresh water and dried first. I used the exhisting top glass trim and some screen to make a secure cover. I really don't know exactly what size tank this is (50-60 gal??) and I couldn't find a top for it at any pet store.







Our latest addition...a baby Whites tree frog



So, all in all, we have 3 green tree frogs, 1 whites tree frog, and 2 green anoles. I apologize for the not so quality pics, they were from my cell. Any comments, critics, suggestions are all welcome.
