[QUOTE="GeckoDragon, post: 1978345, member: 112708"] Thank you for the quick response! You've settled the base material question for me, which is awesome because that was my biggest barrier to further development. I was thinking about a partial screen top cold side and wiring up a quiet computer fan on the hot side for active ventilation. Is convective via passive vents (as you suggested) a better way to go? I want to have as little visible cables as i can get away with, so one side will have a hidden diy electrical box (and I have enough familiarity with circuits to do that safely after some research). For lighting, I do have a pair of 24" 2-bulb F17T8 fixtures that came with the aviary. They're cheap home improvement style units and from what I've been reading elsewhere here, those aren't recommended. I was thinking that maybe the four 22" bulbs might be enough to not need the reflectors, but now I'm realizing that may not leave enough room up top for heating... Hmm. Trying to reuse as much as i can, but I'll buy whatever I need to make it well. [URL="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5rkkt01yetxjvx4/AACrhrIEvhvYe_CxFr5bjAwta?dl=0"]Mushu Tank Build[/URL] Linked is a dropbox folder with a few pictures of what I'm working with. They include the original aviary, what I salvaged from it, and a mockup of the intended frame. The 'thick' end is where I intend to house all of the eletrical. (You may notice I do have enough frame source material to build two, and will probably use lessons learned from the first to refine a second to sell, but I'm not here to make a sales pitch) [/QUOTE]
