          Where did you get those housing units, they look very nice.

            Thank you, I made my own enclosures with an acrylic sheet I bought cut and glued.

                  LMAO

                  Its easy to do it yourself, If you don't have the tools i.e. tablesaw, have an acrylic supplier cut the sheets to size, and assemble yourself.

                  check out the vids here, good starting point.

                    How did you get the venting on the lids so perfect?
                    It looks professionally made. If you put that in a shop and tried to sell it to me for £20 id definatly have it lol.
                    Isnt acrylic expensive though?

                      Regarding the lid, I made a template as carefully as I could, and I used a drill press to make each lid using the template to guide the drill bit.

                      I paid $157.00 for a sheet which gave me 11 enclosures and two small enclosures. The hinges, hasps, and glue were very inexpensive.

                      I intend on making another batch next month as I have a bunch of folks asking for one of their own.

                      Give it a try, you may make a few mistakes initially (I did), but you will get better quickly.

                        Ur P irminia sure is a babe and I luv ur acrylic Tanks. I did look in2 making some a while back but couldn't find the Clear Hasps, so the link u posted was most helpful (thx ) I think I'd prefer acrylic as I've found the glass tanks I bought 4 my arboreal T's seem 2 crack underneathdue after a while due 2 heat.
