Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

How I do it when I'm converting a tank is to first cut the center support out. Then I cut a frame to set into the inner lip of the tank. Then I tack door trim to that frame to look decent on the front. I glue all wood point with elmers glue and then silicone the assembly to the top(now front of the aquarium). When it is laid down so the front is what was the top you nail the track to the bottom and top inner frame of the cage. The glass sits inside the track.
It does take some handtools still.
At minimum I would say
Hammer(small nail gun is better)
Miter Saw(pawn shop)
Tape measure
You still have to cut the plexi and I use my small table saw
I'm going to be building some more in the near future(again), so I will try to document the whole process because it's better to see pics of it all.
