can you give a list of flora, fauna and equipment... i'd really appreciate that!
about how much did this cost you?
did you custom make that tank?

sooo many questions, so little time...

I second this statement!

Ok, let me get this straight. That's a shorter tank, with the foam board inside, against the glass and coming up out of the top to make it taller, correct?

What a wonderful way to make a tank taller! I'd not thought of that! I've always used the tank rim to HOLD a topper, rather than removing it to have an insert reach to the bottom.

Is this sturdy? Can it withstand the weight of an actual lid? How about doors? Do you think it would be strong enough to support doors hinged to the foam somehow?

I really didn't notice that the first way through, but I've had topper on the mind since reading a post from a new member asking about toppers. I'll be linking to your thread when I post her a list of links to look at.

oh never mind to my last post, I didn't see the fauna list at first. Awesome build and a nice selection of fauna and flora

Thats a really nice tank!! Gorgeous fish and photography.

Actually, foamboard is not very strong and it cannot carry heavy objects. The wall is strengthened by triple layers of foamboard and each corner of the walls are connected and supported by high density polyfoam board. In fact, i prefer to use more rigid substances instead of foamboard, to make the wall.
