    Are you based in Singapore? If yes, can you reveal where you find them and the price? I recently saw a couple of such tanks for sale at a pet shop in town. I think they are great for vivariums. The opening glass doors are placed high enough to allow a significant water level. However, you might want to use an acrylic cover to partially cover the wire-mesh top to retain humidty. A little pricey though...

    Didn't know these are available here. The last I saw them was in Hong Kong. Quite pricey. S$70 for the 45 X 45 X 60 cm model seems fair.

    My only grip about this particular design (from Exo terra?) is that the light set does not sell well on the top. Those from Otto seem seems to be much better, also distributed by Qian Hu, but cost 2 arms and 2 legs.

    I'll pop by Qian Hu to have a look, but where is CCK Pet Lovers Center?

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    The height of the 'door' is higher than that of the 2ft tank you have, Benny. You can also visit Pets Kampong at Great World City.
