You might want to post the photos/information directly on here....
Not being a member of Facebook, all I get when clicking on the link is a photo of two people and a list of things you like, so I (and other non-facebook people) will have absolutely no idea about what you are trying to tell us about your Tokay Setup.

That looks nice, but the problem with it is that all of the space is horizontal and tokays want vertical space. Here's how you REALLY want that 55 gallon tank situated:

Frankly it's rediculously easy to do a conversion. All you need to do is secure hinges on the side and affix a door of your choice. I've even knocked out the top glass and put a screen in the top for the lights. It took me an hour to do all of that not including drying time.
Tokays need height there's no if ands or buts about it. We need to do what it takes to give them that. If you really don't want to do a conversion, you could always go buy a tank with height. Min 36 inches High. But it's going to be cheaper to do the conversion.

Ps Ethan I really like the looks of That setup. It's very clean lined looking.

Thanks, my main goal was to make a stand that would stabilize the top heavy, somewhat tipsy aspect of a 55 when you set it vert as well as make it look nice enough to have out in your living room or whatever. The tank just slides in to the stand. It still needs to get plants and all of that good stuff obviously. At some point I might start selling the stands to make it easy for folks to convert their 55 gallon tanks. I also have plans for similar stands that would hold like 3 10 gallon verts, etc.

what would you use the 10g verts for? toklings? also, would a 40g breeder vert be a good choice in your opinion? (for an adult tokay pair)

10 gallon vert are what I use for young tokay. They're also great for tons of other species like A. felinus, small day geckos, etc. A 40 gallon vert would work for a pair of tokay but bigger would be better IMO.
