I was looking at the plans for the crossfire enclosure that had the plans to make the frame where the tracks sit that house the glass or plexi.
I was looking to see if anyone had other ideas on how to do it?
Thanks

Bend metal?

Why can't you just do the way the plans have you?

Ps. I'm not sure how well bending metal would work out for the tracks.

the basic concept of the crossfire enclosure opening is to make a 3/4" trouth for the runner to sit in. When I made my melamine enclosure, I did not create a trouth. I just used one piece of melamine to create the substrate barrier(bottom front piece), used melamine tape to edged the piece, and used liquid nails to glue the plastic track on top of the edge. I used small wood screws to hold the track down until the glue dried, then removed the screws so the glass would slide freely. The top slide was done the same way except I left the small wood screws in place because they didn't effect the glass slide.

so far, I have not had any issues with the 1/4" glass or the tracks.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
