Hey every one im a DIY nut for you tube videos. there is some really good ones i found on building a Acrylic Fish Tank from start to end and really is a good 5-6 video set.and some good items. though i would let you all know this and check theme out. i have downloaded all the Acrylic tank build ones and made a dvd of it. i really like it.

Nice Tiger! Shawn

I've got sheets of acrylic/lucite from office desk setups which I may now put to use. The DIY list grows faster than my fish....TIM

pretty cool vids, what does acryillic usually go for? i'm wandering if it'd be cheaper to build a new tank bigger than 125 or buy a 125 for 350$ and thats jut the tank.

I stumbled across his videos today. (what influenced me to look for DIY threads here)
I will definitely be doing some overflows, wet/dry, and sumps. I cannot promise how long this will take me, but I will subscribe to this thread, and post updates.

I am quite mechanically inclined, but any suggestions, and pointers would be appreciated. Thanks.

Shoot I am not mechanical inclined at all and I put together a overflow and sump with help from members here so you should have no problems doing it with a little help

The first ones I am going to do will be for the cycled community tank, it's a 55.
My current filter hanging on the back does 330gph. I would like to increase that obviously.
The only real question I have at this point is specifically which pump should I use?

Woot for diy fish keepers! (also a member there.)

He has some pretty cool vids there on diy stuff. Some I've done, some I'm planning on doing. (DIY canister filter will be the next one I do)
