Looks great Jeff! :)

How long did it take you to build, and how much for each enclosure? Are they separate, or all one unit?

I'd love to see the blueprints too, when you have a chance to do them up :)

********, you should draw up plans on the computer and sell them in the online store (it IS comign right?). You'd make a killing. Just show them pics of the ones you've built. They are beauties!

Nice Cages, KaHane has Custom made cages that look excatly like that, but with a few differences.
I hope Laurynn is more help to you moving those cages around then I am to KaHane. I've cracked some of his tanks and cages before.
Anyways, Good job on the Cage!:)
P.S. You and Laurynn Have to join us for dinner one day:)

LOL Edwin!?!?! YOU DIDINT KNOW???? Grant is a toronto renowned chef... hes famous during the taste of the danforth! :P lol sounds like a date Grant! :D Since I put the edges up on top of the bottom piece of wood, that makes the opening 46 and 3/4 long so i get the glass cut 48 x 9 - 9.5 depending on how much the opening is... heh heh its hard to see but the openings there are all differant... there all pretty close but the bottom 2 cages are differant then the top 2 and the top 2 are 1/4 differant, lol i just use whatever scraps i have around for the front and top dams. So if you buy a 4 x 8 sheet at home depot, i always get 1" sliced off the top right through, because the sheets there are 49" wide... and that 1" i use for the bottom substrate dam. ;)

If you use the plastic tracks you get from Home Depot , measure your opening without the tracks in and deduct a 1/2" from the total height to get the height of the glass, and for the width, I just take the total outside length (for glass enclosures) and divide by two and add a 1/4" for a larger overlap.

hope that helped for the glass sizing. Nice cages Jeff.
