Cheers Jezza...
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.

Cabinet looks great, I'd actually pay money for that lol.
Looks quite proffesional, very neat and measured out with precision

Thanks Guys.
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??

Some nice fish you got there, in particular your earth eaters
Is that a birchir in the bottome right corner of the first pic?
Those bushfish look pretty big to.

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.
