I initially wanted to custom build it with your plans but I ended up finding a bookcase off of craigslist for $20 and went with that instead. It was fairly easy. Next one I do, I will be following your plans. I just got to wait until I move out on my own and have the room.

I thought about that and so I applied a paint sealer to it as well as the rest of the entire viv. Its by Krylon. The one that everyone on here recommended is safe to use. I've already cleaned the viv out multiple times during the modification process and the sealer has worked pretty well.

Thanks again for that little idea. It turned out really well. As for the lighting, I found under cabinet 20" strip lighting at home depot. They were on clearance for $11 each. I forget the name of them but they're really nice and they don't get too hot to the touch. That was something I was concerned about. It stays warm, probably no more than 90 degrees judging by comparison of the heat pad that stays at 82degrees. The lights also came in 30". They're plug in but come with the tools to turn it into a click switch light so you don't have to bother reaching all the way in the back to unplug it to turn it off.
Thanks everyone for your nice comments. I really appreciate it.
