I'd love to see some of your diy projects

My most recent project was very simple, achieving the look of an expensive resevior but at a fraction of the price.

3gallon beta tank+paint

= poor mans ato resevior

All in $39

How much did the ATO reservoir run you?

 

[Copingwithpods]

$39 worked out pretty good

This is my trickery of a “high end” sump

Just a 20L and painted the back and bottom black and the sides were painted Blue, that was the color choice of my son, he wanted something different! i like the way it looks

I made my own ATO reservoir too. I built a 12" cube out of acrylic and hide it in a leather wrapped storage ottoman. I have a second one on the other side that holds all my fragging, feeding, and acclimating junk.
Also made my stand, canopy, light rack, and sump. Figured if I can do it and save money why not.

I’ll build something wherever I can. My system is very large so sometimes commercial options are either unavailable or silly expensive.
