 My custom acrylic axie tank project!
Well, I've been working this summer, and decided to treat myself... well, treat my axies :)
I've gotten a little fed up with the tank they're in. It's a 29 gallon long. Great for fish. Not so great for axies.
The footprint isn't that big, and I don't think it has more than 15-18 gallons in it at any point in time. So it's really not good for my two adults!
I've decided to build a tank made with axolotls in mind. I'm going for a BIG footprint, instead of height.
The dimensions are 26x26x12 inches. With 10 inches of water in it, that's 30 useable gallons!
I've already ordered the acrylic. I'm using 1/4" thick, with eurobracing at the top. It should get here on friday!
I'll start uploading progress pics as I start building. Hopefully everything works out and I can add another axie to the family!
