Which one should I get?

Tear down basically done, it’s still pretty sturdy. After I add plywood to the back it will be rock solid. I know I said I wasn’t going to mess with it until spring, but shit that’s what I always say lmao.

So, what’s the best option to seal things up and make them waterproof? Options I’m thinking of, flex seal, epoxy pool paint, cover the walls and floor in extruded pvc. Input would be greatly appreciated.

This one is a combo of epoxy and FlexSeal. Background is epoxy, everything else is FlexSeal.

I plan to automate everything. I use to have a full blown coral reef tank and it was straight mad scientist level. I even had everything hooked to an Apex controller so I could monitor water parameters and make changes as needed from my smartphone.

In that case you probably don't need that thread I posted, but it is a fully automated plan. Cant wait to see it!
 
Purchased this one today for $75. It’s much deeper twenty inches to be exact. Each side will provide an enclosure space of 32x20x48. This will work perfectly for a pair of panthers. Probably won’t mess with it until spring.

Wish I had a tank like that. Funnily enough I bought a 2x2x3 tank for my young Cham and it cost me nearly 200 however I am planning on buying another and fixing it on top of my chameleons tank to make it 2x2x6 ft
 
I would choose this one IF you are willing and able to do the more extreme modifications, meaning attach the two together, remove a few dividing walls and floors, and make new front doors. That would be a very nice and roomy enclosure. You could even make it into two enclosures but personally I would make it one large space as I like to give a lot of horizontal room as well as height.

I don't care much these wooden cabinet builds but I absolutely love the interior. Did you use ropes covered with peat and silicone to make the vines wrapping around other pieces of wood? I may use this as some inspiration for my next enclosure build.
