  • DIY egg tumbler

    It tumbles black eyed peas pretty good.

    Click image for larger version Name: tumbler_th.jpg Views: 1 Size: 7.8 KB ID: 9523391. Cut the bottom out with a 1" lip.
    2. Cut a circular piece of plastic canvas so it could be inserted inside and glued.
    a. About 1" into the bottle.
    b. Used that new gorilla super glue. It is thick and dry's rubbery.
    3. Rotated the bottle with the glue in it to evenly coat edge of plastic canvas.
    4. Let it dry over night on it's side so the glue does not run down the bottle and keep rotating.
    5. Next cut out the bottom of the bottle you cut off.
    6. Leave a lip to hold another circular piece of plastic canvas and glue it into the bottom piece.
    7. Then silicone the bottom back on.
    8. I think tumblers have two bottoms so fish don't pick at the eggs.
    9. Drill 15 small holes in the cap.
    10. Drill two holes on side so you can put suction cups on.
    11. Drill 1 more hole where you insert the air hose in neck and tie wrap it.

    • 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.

    • Wet/dry Filter Outlet Anti-Siphon Hole - Shield preventing messy spitting at startup
      by jarrodaden


      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.

    • 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...
