In a discussion about where to find discus breeding cones, someone mentioned a DIY idea. It sounded like a good idea, so I built one for under $10. A little Dremel tool work, silicone to secure the flower pots and a rim for a lip and it looks pretty good. It's not as beautiful as the glazed ones...

I started this for my 125 but decided to scrap it and go rubbermaid W/D. Someone can finish it if they like. $10 nosey dog not included

I was too cheap to purchase coconut huts for my new apisto breeding groups so I decided to make my own. Coconuts were on special at the grocery store for $1.50 so it was not a risk of much money. First I got together the tools I thought I would need. -large C clamp -drill -small bit and large...

Water Changes... do you love doing them? Well I'm tired of the doing water changes every other day on 18+ tanks... The 24/7 drip system is a constant drip of "new" water and any excess water will overflow out the tank through the drains. Similar to a Overflow filter except it has a much...

Hello, all. :) I thought I'd share pictures of my DIY styrofoam/concrete background that I made for my 55 gallon Tang tank. If anyone else has gone through this laborious project, feel free to share pictures, descriptions of how you made them, etc. Mine took several months of off-again...

Anyone try to build their own canopy with a built-in compact fluorescent bulbs? I'm not talking about the power compacts that run $50. I'm thinking about the cheap screw-in type that you can buy at HomeDepot. I'm wondering if there is a drawback to using them. I'd expect that they aren't the...
