This is gonna be HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE! I'm going to be putting my 2 beardies in here, it was originally designed to be an acrylic aquarium, but cracked when the guy was filling it, so I'm going to fix it up for a nice terrarium for my beardies, and their offspring. I plan to sell their babies. I am sectioning it off, since it is 8'x4'x20", in half, so the adults will be on one side and babies on the other. I will be updating the pictures here, so please check back!

After peeling (from top)...wasn't too concerned with bottom, since it will be covered with substrate (that is a door under the bottom, btw):

Will keep everyone updated :)

Once this tank is done, this 80 gallon will turn into my Oscar tank :P
