DIY cage idea

[AmityvilleHams]

Not sure about the UK but in the US any aquarium with a stand included is ridiculous once you go over 40 gallons to the point where it's actually cheaper to make a cage yourself and just buy a piece of furniture to put it on.Even then,the money at least for my situation with IKEA being a very long drive away(possibly over 4 hours)I feel like it's easier to just make the cage myself.Plus,even with a Detolf,as nice as they may look,I can make a cage with more floor space that looks just as nice and probably take less than 4 hours building the cage itself plus the time for silicon to cure.I could probably go bigger with either length or width if I found a piece of furniture big enough,which hopefully will happen.
