Margaret,
If you use a wooden tank... could I borrow some ideas
from you? Like wood, ventiliation, lighting, etc.
My dad and I build a lot of things for me... and since
I want to build a "entertainment center" specifically
for my basement animals, this might be a definitely
possiblity! Any advice, opinions, etc. from anyone
else as well!?
Thanks!
