Shattered 55 gallon tanks x2 for free

[John Kelly]

I have two 55g tanks that are tempered glass and I tried to drill them (not knowing that the backs were tempered also). The backs are shattered out of them, but the rest of the glass and the plastic support edge is still good. Does anyone want them?

DUDE - you think you could put (connect) them shattered back - to shattered back and use them for a large vivarium? You'd then have something that would have the same capacity of a 110g enclosure... maybe throw a liner in the bottom so you could throw some soil in there... rig some DIY lid for it - throw in some groovy plants and some frogs, lizards, scorpions... whatever critters would be cool. I figured with you being a greenhouse guy - you would like growing some plants that the critters could lounge on. The finished product would just have the edges on the sides where the two "back panels" connected... Put in on a table that's veiwable from all for sides or something... I dunno - I've only been up for a bit :bum:
Sorry, just happened to see some neat set-ups like that not long ago...

I'm on a serious house cleaning mission, so I can't dream about superfluous projects any more ; otherwise I would do something with them. I'm sure Larry Forehand could fuse them together somehow (lol).

The tanks have been spoken for.
