For you aquarium Lovers.....

So here is another idea I wanted to show off for those of you who are hands on. I have been working on different setups for screen door kits for aquariums, As far as I know this has not been done before these screen door vert kits are the first. This is for a 10 gallon stood upright.

Very nice. I'll take one for a 15 gallon tank whenever you have time to make extra.

Very nice, and I like how you created with out the use of any duct tape... :lol:

I know, I tried to toss some duct tape in there it just didnt work out. These are actually really cheap to make and if you get your aquariums at the petco $ per gallon sales its well worth the idea.

Great idea

Great idea. I saw some window screen fixtures at the hardware store that could easily be converted for use as a lid this way.

Now if only I had room for more enclosures...

I HAD fallen out of love with aquariums until seeing this post. I may now have to revisit them. Brillant!

Do you have a picture of it installed?

It's a great idea though I notice I have a number of different tens that are slightly different in dimensions and you'd want it to fit inside the plastic frame perfectly so if someone has a different brand or year than the one you're using it wouldn't fit.

Um, I think he's just showing us an Idea for you to make with your own two hands with your own dimensions that you calculate? Sharing a Idea I believe, not so much a sales pitch? (and of coarse a bunghole would be added for feeding, lol)

They mount to the aquarium frame with simple RTV gasket silicone. They only cost me $4-$5 to make so add that to the price of a 2,5, or 10 gallon and they are a great project for anyone who wants a rack of identicle humidty controllable vivs.

I actually like these far more than the cages due to the possible temp control by laying heat tape under each row of aquariums as well as the humidity factor. If your capable of drilling glass you can mount misting nozzles in the tops of all the aquariums and go automated.

I love this . Very wonderful idea.

When will you have some for sale BT? Or how do you make them?

I was able to do it!

I used a 2 1/2 Gallon too!

Great Idea BT!

Congrats. good to see these doors being put to use.

Very nice idea!

10 gallon truncata nymph cage, I mounted a fitted screen into the top of the aquarium for added surface grip.

Looking good BT. Any losses?

Now that is perfect! I really need one of those . Can the lid lift off gently as well as using the hinges to protect rooftop molters while cleaning and feeding? I really like this idea alot.
