i have a tank frame im not sure what the size the tank is in gallons...its 3 foot by 2foot by 2foot.

also how can i put glass in it?
it needs a top also..what type of top. I would like the top to be screen

is there i site with irections on how to make a steam with a shallow pool on one side of the tank?

need lots of help to turn this into a rainforest type terrarium.

A 36"x24"x24" aquarium is 90 gallons in capacity.

Hey, it's a 90 gallon tank. All you do it take all the measurements in inches and multiply thme together, then divide by 231. example: 36"x24"x24" = 20736/231 = 89.766233 gallons.
What does your frame look like? Are you able to slide glass down into it or is it just pieces of wood/metal connected to make kind of a box? You could silicone glass/acrylic/plexiglass inside the frame thne make sure to run silicone on theedges inside to prevent leaks. David Taylor has a good site with a stream and a nice hex tank. I'll put the link at the bottom. There's many ways to make streams. i'm messing around with my digital camera and I'll try to get a picture of my stream up. It's jsut gravel on the bottom, then the stream area is lower than the area with moss to create a low stream. Moss is now growing into the stream, looks good. Good luck.

Its a box made of metal that is welded together
the metal is things that have right angles and you connect them to together to form the box and weld them so i would have to place glass inside the tank and silicon it to the sides and the bottom....it comes with a loose slate bottom.

I need to know how to make a lid for it becuase what ever goes on ithas to be bigger than the top becuase the top is level (from the metal angle strips)

I hope you can understand this..

another way of calculating is to do it in feet:

3'x 2'x 2' = 12 * 7.5 = 90 gal

...just another way of getting the same number...
