Thanks! The little twists are as follows, no round vents to obstruct the view, acrylic hinges, 29-39 gal tank clips for locking, fake plants. I'm ballin on a budget unfortunately lol!!Nice enclosures. So what's the little twist?
Cool. The unobstructed view does make a difference.Thanks! The little twists are as follows, no round vents to obstruct the view, acrylic hinges, 29-39 gal tank clips for locking, fake plants. I'm ballin on a budget unfortunately lol!!

Appreciate it!! I spent a decent amount of time and money tryna perfect it lol
For the typical round air vents, you need diamond hole saws. these are even more expensive than the glass drill bits.Another alternative would be to make the vents on the side, but that would mean grinding holes in the glass. That requires a fairly pricey diamond drill bit. It also means that you can never again use the aquarium as an aquarium.
Nice work. Would you mind telling me where you got the acrylic hinges?
Very nice! Good job. I'm planning on doing the same thing for my more impressive
spiders. The use of clips looks like a good idea, I'll use your idea, it looks alot better then a latch
Congrats! It looks great
Cheers alex
This is a silly question but how do you open them? I can't see the locks you mentioned haha. Could you post a pic of the locks and possibly tell me where you got them? These tanks are gorgeous and I would like to make my own but all I have are those huge acrylic hasps that don't look nearly as nice!
Oh wait I see the black top locks now, but where can I get them still?
