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.

Custom vivarium doors- looking for suggestions
I'm planning on building a large vivarium for amphibians. The base, which is already built, is constructed of wood, with a pond liner. I am now building the upper sides, which will be glass with (wood or metal) framing.
I am having trouble figuring out what to do for doors. I prefer sliding doors, made of tempered glass. Think shower doors, only smaller. I can have these custom made simply enough; however there would be gaps between the doors, through which tiny frogs and insects could escape. And, if I use rollers under the doors, there would be potentially creating more gaps.
Any suggestions?
I'm also looking for ideas to decorate and/or plant the back wall.

What about using a hinged method like they do for frameless shower doors that swing open? They have a clear frame seal to prevent water from leaking around gaps and between the doors.

I may have to look into that as well.

How about vinyl sliding basement windows, they're sealed up pretty tight. You can even lock them if you install them backward.

You may have already completed this, but should anyone else have a similar problem, you can apply a strip of adhesive backed foam. Here in Australia you can get black EVA foam with adhesive on the back as a strip. You can use this to place along the edge of the glass which is behind the panel in front.
We source ours from a foams shop, but I am sure there would be somewhere similar in the US and elsewhere.
This can act as a seal between the panels, stopping anything from escaping.
The only thing to note is that the black will be visible, however you can hide this by placing it as close as you can to the edge of the glass panel you are adhering to. This way the strip can be seen as being one with the edge of the glass, thus hiding it.
