Hey guys, just want to share my cheap display of the Hot Toys Tumbler and the Batpod. I was going to build a custom case but the cost was somewhere along the line of 500 dollars


The cost are as follows:

Ikea Lack Coffee Table: $19.99

LACK Coffee table - black-brown, 35 3/8x21 5/8 " - IKEA

Pet Smart Grreat Choice 20 gallon Long Fish Tank 27.99

Grreat Choice

Pet Smart Top Fin 29 Gallon Fish Tank: $68 (after discounts)

Top Fin 29 Gallon Hooded Aquarium | Aquariums | PetSmart

The lights I used are remote controlled LEDs so this is a matter of choice.

Total cost for the display(not including the lights): $115

PLEASE NOTE ** The Top Fin 29 Gallon Fish tank does not provide 100% seal because it's off by about an inch. Because of this, the back wheel needs to sit on the edge of the tank which is a little sharp. I cushioned mine with some foam from unpacking the tumbler.

I can't find ANY other fish tank that is at a reasonable price that can fit the tumbler. You can go with a bigger fish tanks(like a 55 gallon one) but then you have to get a bigger desk, not to mention more dead space in the case (and add another 200 dollars).

Is there a fish tank opening on the side? wondering how to enclose it

You push the tumbler fish tank against the wall (but it's slightly off so it's not air sealed). . The batpod fish tank is open on one side so you display it upside down.
