Let’s see some pictures of what you diy built.

I’m just curious what everyone has diy built. I rather build than buy if I can. So post them if you can.

Oh man if only I could find some pics of a diy wet/dry I did out of a 5gl bucket when I was a sophomore in high school back in 1993. I use to get aquarist monthly or aquarium hobbyist monthly something like that, and they had a diy article for the build, cost me about $30 I think, and for a high schooler budget, this was great!!! Ran a 85gl with triggers and puffers as well as a canister filter and a hob prizm skimmer. That’s where I started! Lol. That was my second tank.

My tank journal is pretty much all diy minus the tank build.

I do modifications more than true DIY from scratch. Most recent is a nem protector for the overflow weirs in my 24 gal aquatop AIO. A single overflow protector wasn't tall enough and even next size up was just wider but not taller. Luckily they're sold in 2 packs so I just had to cut off the mount from the second one and glue it to the bottom (while laid flat on a table so it still sits straight along the wall)

DIY stand built to match my kitchen cabinets that I'm pretty proud of. Better than the janky 2x4 over built, rattle can sprayed, poor quality wood one I built 15 years ago as a kid.

I just finished making an AIO drop-in filter for a 20G tank. Using this for a Q/T tank. I have pics of the drop-in getting glued up but I forgot to take pics after I siliconed it into the tank.

I did. I cut everything on a CNC machine.

So many things over the years...

Two pretty big projects though. The stand, and the lights.

Electronic Cabinet is the most recent addition.

Which cleaned up the diy dosing area

That diy welded steel frame is holding up nicely too.

I’m pretty proud of this light mound I made.

I also made this lid to keep the fish from jumping out.
