DIY Refugium

[gsengel]

We just built a refugium, and I thought I'd show off some pictures to inspire others:

We got the plastic from JBL Plastic -- they were cheap and prompt and even planed (not polished) the edges for us! They also sold the glues and a cute little book telling you how to bend plastics and glue huge pieces etc for really big projects. The book is neat, but not necessary.

The light is from home depot, and the macro algae is from generous BAR members.

It's a lot of fun watching the pods run around in there; it didn't take long for it to spring to life.

Looks great!! I wish I can glue acrylic like that..

It was really easy with their applicator and with the planed edges. I had never glued any acrylic before either!
