DIY (Do-It-Yourself) Projects

Hey there reefers! Ok im changing gears lol, cut up this 40 breeder and making a lowboy tank, also got a screaming deal on some lights from a fellow reefer through the biggs Lagoon discord! Can't wait to see where this adventure takes me ! Update!

Got the overflow built , drains and return plumbed in the tank and flow tested! She's a ripper 😆 handles a ridiculous amount of flow , way more than it need but that's a good thing! Now since ive decided to use a tigger systems sapphire 39 as my sump, another pickup through the biggs fam, im gonna concentrate my efforts on a highly functional and eye catching stand to hold it all, stay tuned 😉

Lets gooo! Scooped a few extras while I was at biggs Lagoon today, Coral Con grip rack is sweet and trying out a few little sps corals on top of rockwork to see if I can keep them there, things are looking great and feeling good with everything working properly 😀

I know this is NOCO REEF but i have to share what got me into the world of aquascaping and reefing! I Built this one almost 2 years ago , i collected rocks from the poudre and big Thompson rivers and also live sand and moss , built a hollow structure to be my filter and fill with lava rock , plumbed a pump to the waterfall and then just went crazy with rocks and plants , this thing only gets topped off with ro and every one in a while some minerals for the inverts , self sustaining little ecosystem with micro and macro organisms all living in harmony, aquatics frogs , some guppies , few different kinds of cardinia shrimp and some snails all loving life!!!(ps sorry about the background noise lol)

What's up everyone, here's a run down on my diy setup! As of now there approximately 600 to 700 dollars , and quite a few hours in this one, it's running and looking great to my eye , pretty much went all black box (did my research to try and find decent equipment) let me know what ya think!😁
