DIY Mushroom/Anemone Boxes Ideas!

[Rogued_Reefer]

Hey there Reefers!

I see an gap in this market that needs to be filled... affordable mushroom/anemone boxes, baskets, cages or however you want to call it! I’m not knocking those making them but $50 for an acrylic cube is ridiculous.

so in my journey for diy ideas I realize there is not much out there and I KNOW 100% there is a bunch of us DIYers making them for ourselves... let’s face it not only we like to make things we’re also cheap. lol

Let’s post our diy boxes and any links to build them shall we?

this is mine and was built with:

Magnets -Super Strong Neodymium Disc... Amazon product

Basket -Officemate OIC Achieva Long... Amazon product

Would be curious to see what others are using as well. For me it's just tupperware in corner filled with sand and rubble for now.

Right?! I looked around and didn’t see much. Tupperware at the bottom was mine too for a while until I built 2 of there but now I kinda want to build one clear so I might bite the bullet and buy some acrylic or something similar to build it myself.

I 3D Print them for a few of my buddies. Pretty much what you have there... The part you see up is actually the part that goes into the sand.

Nice! How much does it cost to print them? If you can’t answer that it’s ok I understand. A buddy is thinkering with the idea of buying a 3D printer to make hobby stuff

If you are talking about just the material you are looking at just under $4. Time is about an 18 Hour Print each.

3D Printers are fantastic if you are willing to put in the time to learn how to 3D Model. I use Sketchup and I love to tinker so it is right up my ally!
