DIY
In this section, you will find links to aquarium DIY resources (the acronym DIY stands for Do It Yourself). The reason why aquarists chose DIY solutions instead of ready made alternatives varies. Sometimes it is impossible, impractical or very expensive to get the right solution for a certain aquarium and you have to resort to making it yourself. In other situation, DIY project is embarked on because of the sheer joy of doing something with your own hands instead of getting everything made for you. DIY is a great way of customizing your aquarium and get a tank that fits you and your needs. Before you embark on any project, it is a good idea to take a closer look at your home insurance policy. Some policies do not cover flooding accidents caused by a DIY aquarium, while others cover it but only after asserting that the project was well done. Also keep in mind that some countries and states have laws governing who is allowed to do advanced electrical projects. Hopefully, the links below will provide you with both inspiration and information for your very own DIY aquarium projects. The aquarium hobby started out as DIY and will hopefully always be home to enthusiastic DIY hobbyists.
