Super cool! I really like how tall it is!

From tonight!

Still need to add sand and some fake dead plants.. but so close!

This thing is massive! ahah Any updates?

Download google sketchup. Think of the design you want. Make it. Simple as that. Google sketchup is so easy even a monkey could do it.

Need to make a stand now... my wife is fine with it on the dining room table for now.. but I don't know how much longer! :lol:

Cannot believe I didn't post these yet!!!! lol Sorry! I couldn't wait to put him in and it aired out enough so I put him in his new place! :D :D :D

Awesome! This is what I wish I had to work with and not my single tank, that I now have to figure out a stand for. Sub'in for sure!

I am thinking that will be the last step for me to do now other than painting the exterior of the tank.. Iv'e been wanting to keep it just grout and grout only, but I am thinking a sealer may be best. How much does that Mod Podge stuff cost?

Would try maybe trying to close off some of the ceiling on the tank to retain heat, as obviously... heat rises... and if the lights are far away from the surface, then the heat will most likely never reach their full potential on the actual basking area. Maybe even try a towel in the basking...

It really isn't that hard at all.. for me it was just finding the time between my kids, wife and video games.. lmao Here is a quick mock-up of it with some fake plants from one of my old aquariums.... what do you guys and gals think?

I spent around $200-$300 on my stands... and those used much more wood. haha. Odd.

I had mine made here where I work... I did the fake rock and paint though... We are out in Avondale, I would love to help you out with anything you need. I live in Buckeye.

Started with the tank being made where I work, out of a Co-Polymer plastic welded together. Then got foam blocks and glued them together with some all-purpose caulking and tooth picks, then shaped them with steak knives, hack saws butter knives and dry-wall cutters.. lol then I took a heat gun I...

Thank you very much! :D Here is the closer to final product... my painters tape ripped some fo the wall paint off, so a few minor touch-ups... but I think it's done... ish. :D Not completely sold on the color.. but I do like it... I will see if it still smells like paint tonight after work...

You don't want to put the bearded dragon in with a leopard gecko...

A simple rectangular enclosure would be easiest... You could do what I do if you don't want to deal with hinges and go for a ANA stand style type... Super dark, but this was when it was a fish tank(75 gallon) that is around 700lbs. lol on a stand I made over night! lol

I was not ans still don't consider myself to be a handyman of any sort. haha But I have made fish tank stands in little as a few hours, it all comes down to planing and mapping things out. Since your budget is rather large, you could opt for using L-Brackets and those things speed things up...

Where are you located? I don't really want to tell you how to spend your money at all.. but I can say that you could saves tons doing it yourself... or even hiring a handyman to build the tank/stand combo in one for you cheap... just saying. You can get almost everything but the feeders...
