just about finished with a rearing cage. I split it up into 5 small sections and 2 larger sections. Going to raise some milli and dameaus in the small sections and keep a trio of dameaus in the larger.

[PreditorNprey]

is it going to be heated by heat tape?

 

[Brandon Parry]

It looks very nice. When I had a collection, I was going to build some cages myself. How do you get those panels that seperate different sections to stay standing straight up while the silicone dries?

thats what i wanna know too

 

[Brandon Parry]

if you look at the back of the cage there is a small piece of tape that is holding the glass up. For the most part the silicone holds it in place even while wet. I mark where the glass is going to go with a sharpie and then I lay a bead of silicone over the line and then place the glass on top of it. Once it's all lined up I smooth the silicone over with my finger.

I don't just buy the frames I have never been able to find a place that sells just frames. I order my cages to my specs then take them apart and modify them.

Try your local pet shop. I don't know if the chain pet shops can order it, but many of the Ma and Pa shops should be able to get them.

I have a business license and deal directly with the cage makers and they won't even let go of any tank framing. It's the one thing that keeps them in business. If they were to sell me frames I could start mass-producing cages and could easily become there competitor

 

[EMS]

What adhesive do you take to fasten the hinges?

Try to contact a company that manufactures aquariums, such as all-glass or perfecto, oceanic, etc.
