Hi,
im not too much good of an diy guy. so i hope anyone point me to a thread or how to make a clear - easy DIY box.
I want to keep my new fish in there for a few days till there is less agression.
best to have a 7 x 7 x 7"

see the reef synergy one but its kinda too fancy for my wallet.

thanks in advance
Brandon
 
If you can wait a couple of weeks



Has it been, or is it going to go, through quarantine?
 
You could also make a frame with acrylic rod or something and wrap netting around it. Your LFS might have something as well.
 
Just got the Elite Aquatics acclimation box and they are very nice and very well built
 
You can build them out of eggcrate and zip ties. If the fish(es) are small zip tie gutter guard material to eggcrate.

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine
