Another hobby is (DIY) reefkeeping (saltwater/coral aquariums). Here are some bits and bobs about that.
My small reef setup has slowly started growing as hoped for, and during the last few months, I’ve been adding flora and fauna to it.
This is a walkthrough and setup guide to the ‘2-in-1 Aquarium overflow and Protein Skimmer’ found on Printables and Thingiverse.
I have a somewhat unusually-sized reef aquarium that is pretty high (and square) instead of the more traditional rectangular style.
One of the downsides of a reef aquarium can be noise levels coming from sumps, pumps, and even the light fixture.
To keep costs down – and because I love DIY projects – I used an old Jewel filter to house my homemade skimmer.
Here are some plans and photos from one of my earlier reef setups, where I knocked a hole between two rooms and put a 1000ltr. aquarium in.
The interaction between clownfish and their chosen anemone is fascinating to see.
