Once I switched over to HDPE enclosures with a front drop-down doors, I'd never go back to using "glass tanks "Just my opinion.

A simple wooden rack can allow you to stack glass tanks if you want to. Here is one I had made.

They sell "aquarium grass" at petsmart. It's just plastic stuff. It comes in a few varieties and it's an easily cleaned grass that doesn't grow out of control, and can't die. It's a bit pricey (like 12 bucks) but it looks nice and has the aforementioned benefits.

Re: Glass tanks!
You all have some very nice setups! I'm really into decorating my terrariums, so I was looking for a bit of inspiration. I recently picked up a 36x18x18 enclosure for Marshall once he's bigger. It's super nice and one of a kind. It's got sliding glass doors as well. Now I need a background. I'm thinking foam stack stone( the stuff they use on the sides of houses, if you don't know just look it up on google and you'll know what I'm talking about) or make my own. Then I get to buy accessories, and heating, and the list goes on. Lol

Re: Glass tanks!
As far as building a rack for the aquariums, how do you access the tank without having to move it out of the rack?

You simply pull it forward, like a drawer. I like to remove them and set them on a rolling work station that I use. It's really no big deal pulling them out.

Re: Glass tanks!
Dealing with spider mites sucks but ik you can add bugs that will eat them all then die from lack of food
