    DP, I checked out some of your YouTube videos and they were very helpful.

    bcreps, how far along are you in your process? I'm getting ready to start today so I'm sure there will be a lot of posts coming up from me soon. Keep in touch with your progress and I'll do the same.

    Another couple questions for everyone.

    How important is the black trim on an aquarium if its not going to be holding water?

    Glass, Lexan, Plexiglas, or Poly carbonate for the doors. Are there any pros/cons for using one material over another?

    all i need to do is get those tracks for the doors. i already have everything waiting but im in no rush. heres a thread i asked alot of the same things your wondering. http://www.frogforum.net/vivarium-te...nk-before.html

    the plastic trim can be removed and re siliconed. my top frame is cut at the two front top corners. use glass on glass, im doing the european style ventilation linked in that thread. youll need a razor with the scraper and remove all your silicone seams. its a project alot of people wouldnt bother but i like a project and hate wasting
