    Question about a DIY tank

    Well right now our little girl is in a ten gallon tank until I finish building her home. But before I do something stupid I decided to pop a few questions up here.

    I was able to get a large amount of plexy and wood at a pretty good price so space is not going to be an issue. My question is about stain. I would like to stain the exterior wood, and wanted to know how long I should let it cure before putting her in it. I have heard that some types of stain will offgas for about 48 hours after we can no longer smell it. Does this sound about right to you guys? There will not be any exposed wood (lease in regards to the build) on the interior other than the top. And I was not planning on staining the inside of the top.

    Thanks much.
