large tank designs (help needed)?

Hello all,
I'm in the process of designing a new enclosure for my now huge tree frogs (Hyla boans), and am in need of some inspiration...

I'm just wondering if anyone here has a tank design that has worked well for them or know of a website that showcases large sized frog enclosures, I'm thinking in the 4'X2'X4" high size?.

I was thinking of getting it made from acrylic or glass but any other suggestions are greatly apprieciated.

Here a bit of one of the frogs:

I'm certainly no amphib expert, but I always recommend glass over acrylic for any enclosure where water is involved. Over time the acrylic doesn't stand up to mineralization and regular cleaning.

If you are looking for some inspiration for vivaria... check out these sites.....
www.frogworld.nl
www.poison-frogs.com
the first site has some unbelievable vivs in the dutch vivarium section
The second site has an amazing step-by-step of how one of these monstrous vivariums is constructed.
Enjoy!
