good job, very nice

I like it, but I think it'd be a nice touch if you'd get a background for the tank. That's about all I see missing. The top is pretty sweet though-good craftsmanship!

may I ask why you decided to run the filter pipes all the way over the basking area instead of drilling holes for them to pass through? It seems like the filter would have a much harder time pumping that extra 18 inches or so.

You know, once I built the damn thing, I thought the same thing.

It was already sanded, painted and assembled and I took the lazy way out. I was eager to get this project done and probably once I get some more time, I'll do it right, but for now, it stays.

Well, it's really nothing special, the design is very simple, but you can look at this, I just made it up in paint.

I just cut the pieces with a skill saw and some with a table saw, sanded and painted them, glued and screwed them together.

The front is actually removable, and a piece of plexiglass is glued to the back of the door.
