    I had a problem with water squirting out the anti-siphon hole on my wet/dry outlet and Dustin at Houston Aquarium Warehouse gave me this idea.

    Simple and easy to do.

    • Horizontal Tank Divider
      by ScorpiosWife
      OK, so the entire thing took about 20 minutes to build! Of course, as I suspected, hubby wouldn't let me play with sharp objects. While he was cutting, I removed the filter, gathered some marbles for the sides & then realized I forgot to take pictures of the material before we started. Oops. I didn't remember till he had already cut the mesh, egg crate & had started with the zip ties. Hubby measured & cut the egg crate as close to the inner dimension of the tank as possible. Then he cut the ...

    • DIY LED Build
      by cichlid1409
      So, I've been wanting to upgrade to a LED fixture on my coral tank for a while now. As I looked online at all the fixtures I found they were either too much moolah or not bright enough IMO. So I decided to pull the trigger and try to build my own. After digging around online and figuring out a game plan this is what I decided to go with: 12 - 3w cree XP-G (white) 12 - 3w cree XP-E (royal blue) 1 - meanwell 35-700 driver 1 - meanwell 60-1050 driver 60 degree lenses 10in X 10in heatsink Custom ...

    • Continual Air Removal From Siphon Tubes On Overflow Box
      by jarrodaden
      I was looking for a way to automate the air removal from the siphon tubes on my overflow box without running risk of pumping the siphon tubes empty. I was also worried about siphoning them dry during a power outage via the air tube.

      Using an aqua-lifter pump, I came up with a solution.

      Attached is a DIY video link.

    • DIY Background- Vinyl
      by Zebvance
      I had a black background on my 240 from Petsmart. I had a lot of problems with it. Water would get in between the background and the tank when I would service the tank. It got on my nerves enough for me to rip it off. I ended up having the idea of laying down one big piece of vinyl (a big black sticker) on the back instead of painting it. I am not a very good painter and I didn't want to do something that permanent to my tank. So I picked up a 96x30 sheet of vinyl from the local decal shop...
