So I went looking at Home Depot today for some material to build my own enclosure..I was looking at melamine and plexi glass specifically. I'm not 100% sure that what I'm using but it's looking quite possible that that's what I may be using,still have to do some investigating. Going to put some trim work around it when done,mesh screen( possibly) or ,may just route out sides and put adjustable vents in..also I'm thinking of building a hide into the bottom where I'll put his UTH..basically drill a hole in the base of the tank and have a compartment below for him to go hide..

anyway I have a ton of ideas,I'd like to see if anyone out here has built there own and if so can u post some pics. I'd love to see some handy work,help me get ideas as well..

thnx
