DIY (Do-It-Yourself) Projects

This thing turned out really well for 8$ and an older reactor can't wait to get it running with the new upgrade coming waterbox 180.5 reef!!! Stay tuned for break down and set up post to come soon!!

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!😁
