Sue I love your toppers! I want to do the same thing with my 150 gallon tank. I bought one exo terra but I need to modify it first.
Hi Stacy, I’m jealous that you have a 150g tank! The plexiglass can be a bit pricey. Check hardware stores for sheets of plexiglass. I got the sheets of plexiglass and had them cut it at Tap Plastics. I went for the 1/4 inch thickness to support the Exo Terra terrariums. I also have two plastic poles I put in the sand to support the terrariums. One pole is CPVC pipe (PVC is not safe for crabs) and the other pole is from a toy I found at Dollar Tree. Then my husband went to visit a friend who lives on the coast and he brought me some beautiful pieces of driftwood! (I want more!). Good luck with your topper! Let me know if you have any questions or, need some advice 🙂
