Coming along

Alright I have started making what was going to be the Jungle Carpets tank. It is now going to be the brazilian rainbows tank since they are a lot more picky lol. This tank is 36 inches tall by 15 inches deep by 24 inches wide. I used scrap plexiglass and some weird picture frame cover or something I found int the dumpster. It is clear plastic but really brittle and flimsy.

So far I have gotten everything together except the back.....The back is what will have the doors in it. It will have at the top two corners 2 6"X6" doors with latches as you can see in the pictures. down at the bottom of the back it will have a 2'X1" door that will open with latc hes on the bottom edge of the tank and hinge upwards. I made a fatal mistake.... I left the back for last so I have no access points besides the doors to add the caulk and or glue to hol dit in place. I think I have gotten around this problem with flexible joints in my body lol. So without and more jibber jabbering here are some pics in the later stages fo tank development.
pic 1 is of the side of the tank you can see one of the 6 inch doors
Pic 2 is the bottom of the tank
Pic 3 is one of the 6 inch doors up close, that one is messy used a diff glue the other has clear super glue.
Pic 4 is the top of the tank with both access doors 6 inch
Pic 5 is the bottom of the tank, if you look close you can see the edge of teh "door" it is where teh caulk stops int he corners.

I'm anxious to see it complete and decorated. It's looking rough but really good thus far.

It will stay rough. I don't plan on making it pretty lol. It is staying basically in a closet :-P

You've got a knack for cage decor. I'm sure it won't look so rough when you're finished with it.

So I guess I am going to try and use heat rope on this tank. It kinda worries me, even though they say it is safe to put on anything....I have all the doors and the latches secure I do believe. Now to start putting it together to make a home lol.
