Great mod, in my case I would need to add a way to install a hole for a lock. That should be easy though. This is a way to save a little money for me as I need locking tanks. Thanks for information and pics.

A lock would be very easy to install....rob

Can you please post the over all cost of such an enclosure? The materials and such.

The tank I bought used for $40.00 the lid is around $90.00. the backdrop material is around $20.00. The substrate is around $20.00.....everything else is found in the wild.

Total: $170.00 my 125 gal is a different story that is very high dollar (I bought the tank new, it is very tricked out.)
