Update.
The parts to the doors.
Put them together.
Fitted them Double roller catches and hinges.
And finally got it all together and just have to pull the doors back off to stain/varnish and finish it up.

Timber - $89.59
Hinges - $5.64
Screws - $12.97
Catch dbl rollers - $1.00
Stain&Varnish - $24.73
= $133.93
Also I had these materials already which I didnt need to buy.
Liquid nails
Sand Paper
Spare sheet of plywood (for the base)
Paint Brushes.
Which may come up to about an extra $20 or so.
Whoops I forgot the handles, I lost the receipt to that but they were probably around $5??

Its good to put the tools away and clean up all bits and pieces lying around the house.

Thanks Ronny, the fish your referring to is a peacock eel or spiny nosed eel.

Do you have any trouble with the toga trying to eat the chalceus?

Pretty hard to get a shot of him its pretty shy but I'll give a go if I see him come out, it usually digs into the sand.
And with the toga surprisingly it doesn't even bother them, I think that because they are so skittish they freak him out and on top of that they are too big for him anyways.
The toga will move into the big tank as soon as he big enough not to get swallowed.
