I decided to post pics of my grow out tank. Feel free to post suggestions.

85 gallon tank was bought used with melted top rim from a heat lamp falling on it so I removed it. I had two pieces of glass cut for the top and siliconed handles to them. I put a bead of silicone along the top of the tank and let it cure for a few hours before placing the top onto the tank (silicone on top was cured and unsticky but it still squished and created a seal). The side tubes are two 90 degree 3" ABS elbows. I used weldon to glue the fans to the inside of them creating a U. The whole structure was siliconed to the side. False bottom for drainage is just eggcrate with pvc and screen.

The tank maintains about 80-100% humidity and is lighted by a cheap 4 tube t5ho fixture.
