Yesterday I helped my sister clean out the flower shop that the previous owners of her farm left in shambles. I snagged like 30 2in terracotta pots, a dozen squared off gallon glass jars, and two 48X16 glass panels. I just finished a tank I worked on for like three months and I will be kinda tough to fit another tank in my room, but who am I kidding I saw the glass and immediately thought "it would be a crime not to use this for a tank.

So I've only had about a day to brainstorm at this point but I'm leaning twords a viv to breed leachianus in. Heres what Im thinking so far.

-it would be around 6 feet high
-two sideds would be the glass pannales and two would be wood so like a corner tank
- one of the glass pannels would be hinged for entry
- it would have to be framed out
- possibly having the bottom of the inside be a 2x2x13 glass tank that could sided out for cleaning
-some sore to exhust that the top, probably some 2.5" groment wents on the top frount and maybe two small exhust fans on the top with the lighting
-ect...

so for me to start this they most important thing to me would be figiring out how to frame out the glass, so I do not have to drill it, in a way that it will not be too dramatic and be able to hinge the fram.
also I need to seal the wood. obveously its not going to hold water but I dont want humidity to compramise the wood.
