Tank Question

[UncleChester]

Hm I never really knew that. Thanks. another tidbit I learn! Also I think the rim is a good use when they are glueing the tank together to aid it in support for the 24 hours. Any thoughts on that?

Duct tape was the common suggestion and is what I've uses, 4 small pieces, one on each edge. I'm not sure what the 'pro' tank builders do.

I thought it was mainly used to keep the tank from looking deformed. A deformed tank is pretty much an unstable tank. Currently Iam very interested in architect and stuff of the sort. But since my main interest lies on nature and the hobby of herp and fish keeping then I took on to tank designing. I designed some of my friends tank.
Not by structure of course but by what could be on the inside and you know do simple tasks like making a pool for reptiles or amphibians where you can still have land and it wont mix. But the water from the soil pours down onto the tank for later to be reused. :P I used mesh to keep the soil from the gravel or hydroballs and I did these trays using rubbermaids with holes poked on the bottom for drainage. I made a wall for the water area but made little holes on the very bottom for drainage and in between I did this part were there was a filter. It was made to fit a whisper filter. So the frogs or toads or whatever he wanted in there wouldnt drown because of the suction. It actually worked and is running smoothly. It was a good thing because reptiles and amphibians like to make their business on their water dishes. So I thought if the animal is compatable with a palidrium then it should work.

So Iam figuring you can do stuff like that?

I saw a website that makes custom tanks. They are expensive as heck. But they are nice! You can get terrariums which the glass is less thick and they can also put in this type of rock in the glass that makes it look like there is no glass in there at all. It costs a boat load of money. But I heard its worth it if you want something thats fancy looking and if you're only getting one. :P Ived seen ones made for turtles where they already have a built in land area so you dont need a dock(which is not appropriate) and you can even make it a land area to put in some earth. I think it could be used for some frogs like fire bellied toads, semi-aquatic anurans like bullfrogs, green frogs, pickerel frogs. You know the ones that are ussually by a body of water. They also make any tank to your liking.

Just thought itd put that out there since this is a topic about fishtanks(terrariums). I definitely know the name of the site so I can show you guys if you want to see. Personally I would like one but I cant afford one. Oh shouldnt he put something in the middle where the half tanks meet so its more stable? Iam a bit curious about that.
