This is what I have in mind, not sure if I'm doing it yet.

Turn it on it's end (obviously).

Add a bottom strip to keep substrate ect in, say 1/4 of the height of the tank whens tood up. This would be where the hood used to be.

The remaining part will be your door. Add hinges (up to you which to use) and add a door (perspex or any spare glass you have). Make sure you measure properly as you don't want any gaps or it to be too tight.

You're then left with a glass box with no vents. What I was planning to do was remove the top (one of the old ends) with silicone remover and add in some mesh.

Alternatively you can add mesh perhaps above the bottom strip (exo terra style) and then have another strip of mesh above the door.

That's just basically how it's done.
