🐠🪸 My First Marine Aquarium – DIY Reef Project
My first marine aquarium, now running for 6 months! I’m learning everything on my own and personally designed and built the sump, modified the cabinet, and installed the entire electrical system myself, including internal lighting, three protected power outlets, circuit breakers and an electricity consumption monitor.
Equipment includes two AI Hydra 32 HD lights, a Bubble Magus skimmer, Jebao pumps, a 100 W heater, refugium, bubble trap, DIY automatic top-off and sensors, plus 35–40 kg of live rock.
Currently home to 16–17 fish, crabs, a shrimp, a sea urchin and snails.
🌊 My dream is to create a beautiful reef full of colorful corals. I’m still learning, so any advice is welcome! 🙏🪸
Working on a white acrylic canopy / mesh top for the tank today, this canopy is made out of foam board as a blueprint. I plan on attaching the mesh to the bottom part of this canopy as close to the tank as possible.

Hi everyone! This is my first diy stand build that I’m working on for a 55 gallon reef tank, I would love some feedback if you guys think it’ll be sturdy enough or if there are any suggestions on what I can add to it for it to be able to hold
Now I have removed all the adhesive from the cabinet door after the previous owner. I am starting to see a whole picture of the aquarium now🤩🐟
