I need your help! Tank modification-

[gardenfiend138]

So I am finally beginning to plan converting my screen-top glass tanks to front opening plexi-doors. I have seen some really cool conversions on here, but I really want to make sliding doors instead of hinged ones. So my question is...

Does anyone know where to find the door tracks for front sliding doors? (Like the ones used for vision cages)

I don't have access to a router or any tools of the sort, so making one is not an option. Thank you for your time!

anyone??

A long time ago i was looking into this, you can buy polycarbonate plastic sheets and cut to the right size, and should be able to buy tracks at home depot or lowes or off the internet.

you can also use plexiglass, but ive heard it can bow over time, not sure if polycarbonate will do the same, i never actually built the cage i was planning on. I did use polycarbonate for a hinged opening on top of an old 20 gallon tank, and it never bowed

Any glass supply place that does repairs of things like store display cases or any builder of the same will carry glass track. I have not found it at hardware stores but the first glass supply place had some.

Thank you both for your replies-
The only thing that stopped me from looking into it on my own was that I know someone who was recently looking for some, and checked all the hardware stores in town and all over the internet to no avail, but a quick google search yielded some good results...I'll have to check on my partner's computer's history to find the site that gave the good links so I can post them here for future reference.
Thanks again guys!

If you work with a glass supplier, you might be able to locate tempered glass panels.
Some window suppliers might also carry surplus windows very cheap that could be taken apart for the glass or other parts.
