Convert an aquarium into a front opening terrarium.
FrogCube Limited specializes in 3D printed conversion kits made with PLA plastic to ensure no volatile chemicals leaching into your tank. These kits are designed to convert an Aqueon 10 gallon, 20 high, 20 long, and 29 gallon breeder aquariums into vertical front opening terrarium. These are made for pets and plants that need high humidity within the 80%-90% range.
Kits are broken into four parts. A top vent with a port for a misting assembly. A bottom vent to allow more airflow. And two hinges to place around a glass rectangle for the door. Glass is NOT INCLUDED, but we recommend purchasing 3/32” glass from Lowe’s Home Improvement where it can be cut for free. This also gives you the opportunity to adjust the cuts as necessary for customization. Installation can be seen from the video below, and usually requires using aquarium silicone to adhere the kit into place and prevent the escape of small bugs as well as water leaking from the substrate layer.
For arboreal high-humidity herps like dart frogs and geckos.
