Having used tanks for a while I will give you a couple more tips Cover 3 sides with some type of background I use aquariumbackground from petco. Also you may want to cover the top with either tin foil or I use Plexiglass purchased from Home Depot or a local hardware store and cut it to fit. I also cut several holes in it to allow for air flow and my heat lamp. So when it is all done it looks kinda like this.



And here is a pic of the plexi cover I made



Hope this helps you out and feel free to ask if you have any questions
