It looks really sturdy! Read: heavy. What is your floor weighted for? Compared to hockey mask guy that thing is big.... You might have to brace your joist.

Yeah I'm leaning more towards monitor now. Currently researching husbandry.

Does any know a good product to paint the inside with. I know it will need to be water resistant. Thought about tiling it but have a bad back and this thing needs to go upstairs lol.

Depends what you want it to look like if wood look sanding sealer then 3-4 coats of oil poly would be best. For painted I recommend oil primer, sand, caulk, 2 coats of good latex enamel semi gloss. If you paint, the paint takes 30 days to cure. It's easier maintain ploy than paint. You could use a waterborne poly but I would put as many coats as you can on it. ( water-based is faster dry but not as thick in coating ). ☺

What about something like a truck bed liner?

I wouldn't.. it doesn't bond well to wood. Usually you have to scratch the surface all up to get it to bond.

Update.....

Some how I got the great idea to split the thing up into 3 different areas. Water features in all 3 areas with plumbing underneath. I can make fake rock so that isn't an issue. Thing is I have never used live plants and really want to use them in this project.. Any help would be awesome.

Got a chance to work on the enclosure today. Thank you spring break. The frames for the sliding doors didn't want to come apart very well and some of the corners splintered. Hello trip to the home store. Got some very nice oak and a new router. Been looking for a reason to buy one anyway. So I had no idea that making tongue and groove joints would take me so long to learn. One word of advice practice on crap wood before you work with the expensive stuff. Anyway here are pictures. I'll try to finish up the doors tomorrow. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...bd1ba41fdd.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...645670d79d.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...715f68ed5b.jpg
