That is a friggin awsome idea! It totally kicks butt.

I bought a 300 Gallon Hourse trough for $180 at Co-op. I went with the poly one instead of galvanized. It's setup in the basement for rescues and such. My recent female RES I found living in a 20 gallon (SHE'S 10" LONG!!!) is wading up a storm in there. They work awsome!! 2 Filstar 3's and a plexiglass fence. And a big flat rock sloped in the middle under the Reptisuns and basking lamps. Not real "showy" but functional.
