Always looking to keep my interest peaking in this hobby. I like creating so I’m looking at this hobby ways to do things different while sticking to the basics.
this a DIY 2.5g which is a mimic of my other nano tanks, which are much larger.
going shopping for some new coral tomorrow looking to...
bieng on a budget getting a full reef tank filled with corals i thought why not go smaller. i love the maintaining part of it. i know smaller is harder but i love that challange.
i got this little Dennerle tank and made a internal sump with black acrylic with the help of my handy grandpa. got...
So building a small acrylic tank, test how easy it is.
It's only tiny, but I filled it with water today, and I think I have a small leak
It's only one side. I used a different glue on that side compared to the rest. On that side, I used Tensol 12 compared to the other side using Acrifix 192
Hello!
Wasn’t sure where to post my question. I just got into the hobby. Decided to save some money and build an acrylic
tank.
My tank is 36x24x12 (lwh). Sides are 3/8” and bottom is 1/4” thick.I have attached some pics as well. Before I add water and start cycling, I was wondering if anyone...
Hi Reefers. Its been few weeks i was Searching for some details on a DIY Wave Box , but couldnt find simple detailed making procedure specially on youtube or r2r. Therefore I decided to Try to make one myself with Hit and Trial and It Worked Wonderfully. Here are some details

Namaste y'all, Sammy here from Eastern india.
I am having another foray into reefing after a long while. I was 16 when I started my first setup, I am 27 now. I had a 3 feet, 70 gal setup with mostly Lps, a huge sebae anemone, few tridacna clams, tubastrea and nps gorgs, and few acros too, with...
Hi. I’m currently planning on making a DIY AIO tank. I’m planning to use acrylic as the back compartment (overflow and baffles) and ive ordered them seperate of each other.
How do I connect the acrylic sheets to each other? And how do I connect it to the glass? I’ve also bought some black...
Hey Everyone!
I just finished building an acrylic nano dropoff that holds water but has lots of air bubbles at the seams and joints. I go to an engineering college and have access to a laser cutter. After cutting, I run into the problem of the edges that were cut have a slight angle to them...
For many reasons I've decided to build a 38' diameter geodesic dome to house an aquaponics system. This will be the culmination of many years of ideas and components coming together. I'd like it to be a functional space to grow fish and produce to eat, and also an idyllic retreat for relaxing...
Hello there,
I am in desperate need of help. After months of research I have finally purchased enough acrylic to build two tanks. One will be about 20 gallons (as a practice tank) and one will be 150 gallons.
Before I touched any of that material I bought a 1 square foot x 1/2” thick cast...
Hi everyone. Been lurking around here again for the past week or so since I got the itch to start another reef tank. Long story short, like several of you I have been in and out of the reef hobby. Started when I got out of the military back in '99, setup my first tank late that year (15 High...

Tank dimenstions: 120x70x35 cm
Glass thickness 12mm
Hey guys, I just finished up my two month long build process, from 2D Design, 3D design, sourcing Acrylic during an Acrylic shortage, sourcing a reliable CNC shop for my product, and designing a logo. I've designed and built everything myself, and wanted to share with you guys my finished...
I’m looking for someone to help me construct a filter sock holder that will fit in a 90 gallon diy sump. I purchased a tank that came with a standard 90 gallon tank/diy sump. It has baffles but no sock holder/ overflow silencer. I could cut it all out by hand but if someone could help me it...
Hello All! New to Reef2Reef. I currently have a 35 gallon set up but just got an acrylic 150 gallon that is 30"Hx24"Wx48"L. Will DIY my own 30 gallon sump and stand. Will be posting updates as I polish my acrylic and get it all set up. I am curious how you all would aquascape and what size...
Hi Guys, new to R2R, but a long time lurker. I have been using this overflow for about 2 years now with no trouble, so I figured it was time to show it off! It will overflow about 2-300gph to my sump, and will automatically start and stop when the water level rises above the baffle just before...
Hey guys,
so I just wanted to start a thread to document my journey throughout the aquarium fabrication process. I have access to CNC Routing tables which will help with the initial Mock-up when I go to cut it. All of my files are original and completely custom to this tank build.
So...
New here, just wanted to share my custom build with all of you, i custom built the stand and made it in white acrylic over a sheet of quartz to make sure it was sitting level.this is a downgrade from my previous 65 gallons, i wanted something small built to my taste. The tank is a SCA 45 gallons...
Being in this hobby and loving to create and invent things and this is one of them. I hope you like it
First thing is the tank is 20g 12/20/20 inches but the system is 30g 12/20/29 but we here at innovative acrylic we don’t count the filtration as the size of the tank just to seem bigger
Also...
I have a couple of “custom” sumps that I have built for people
Please feel free to critique me
Custom engraving
Waiting on input from customer.. (size of return and skimmer section)
I get everything cut with a precision laser, and I use a burmac machine to smooth the sides.

So I was a bit bored at work and was like hey let’s build something I figured why not better than dying of boredom..
I found a few pieces of acrylic and decided to make a “prototype” AIO.. about 15 minutes later coming off a laser cutter and some weld-on
Go ahead and critique it I know some...
