Building a basic cage isn't as hard as you think. All you need are 5 pieces of wood, some screws a set of runners and 2 pieces of glass, and some sealant. Attach the runners BEFORE you set the frame (screw the wood together) Then you screw the wood into the cage shape leaving off 1 of the side panels so you can slide the glass in. At this piont you should basically have just a box that is missing 2 sides. Seal the corners and let that harden for a bit. then put the glass in the runners from the side of the tank. Attach the side to the rest of the tank. Vwalla (sp?) you are finished with the basics of making a tank. If you are going to add more I.E. a built in light socket, air vent, wire hole, carpeting, and other features then it will take a bit more. But You can experiment and find what suits your fancy.
