Question for y'all...

So, my 20 gallon tank is currently sitting on a dresser in the family room in our house. I am planning on getting a 40 gallon breeder tank (used) from the pet shop here in town, and will probably upgrade Mycroft to that next cleaning.

However, that will eat up most of the room on the dresser, and I would like to expand the collection eventually.

I was planning on building a PVC support structure that would go around the bottom of the big tank and would then raise up to give me a second layer above to set some other animals I would like to get.

I would like to keep my herps/Tarantulas visible, so a rack isn't feasable, and my Mom doesn't want a new piece of furniture like that.

Any thoughts would be nice..
