What do you think of my new cage?

It's almost finished. Just need to add more lights, and plants. It is 8 feet long, 3 feet wide and 4 feet tall. The water area is 18" wide, 92" long, and 7" deep with a 45 degree sloped edge to the land area. The water area is lined with 45 mil pond liner, and I triple lined it. I put cork bark around the entire perimeter of the water area, to hide the liner and also to give the animals something to grab onto. I tried something differnet this time and built it so I can take it apart. The main viewing window is the window pain out of a sliding glass door that I picked out of the trash! To make that door I cut a 1/4" groove 9/16" deep in the two by material and slid it in the grooves. That's all the detail I can think to mention now, if you want more info just ask, although I do not have actual plans, I just kinda built it as I went.
