Thanks, folks!

Stan, set-to & make one!


Get 6 pieces of piture glass cut.
Glue together with aquarium repair silicone (NOT plumbing stuff, you'll poison the life! :cry.
Mine is approx. 4"x2"x2".
The sixth piece of glass, the same dims as the front & back, is to make a "divider", to restrict the movement of creatures, front to back, in the tank.

Simples!

Good Luck,

Roger.

Thanks for that Roger. The sizes have put Mrs Snap's mind at rest. She had visions of Sea World being installed in the spare room
