[QUOTE="Kurt Nelson, post: 13861, member: 394"] At home depot prices, the plexiglass for each tank would cost $20.85. They are approximately 3.55 square feet those boxes. so .45 we will put as wastage. That's 4 square feed per tank, and a sheet of 2x4 foot plexiglass at home depot is about 47 dollars, which would make 2 cages if cut perfectly. A 2.5 gallon tank here cost like 13 dollars. And the plexiglass to make the lid for it would probably be 3 dollars a tank. Now you have to add vents, hinges, hasps. Clearly if you're making bulk, you're not going to be buying from home depot. My costs roughly, I rounded up would cost 14.2 for the plexiglass alone. Still not cheap for a huge collection. However it would be just about as cost effective as purchasing a tank itself.. [/QUOTE]
