    DIY fish trap

    Anyone ever done a diy fish trap? Due to delays in manufacture my new tanks will get here long after I have to move, so instead of removing all the plants to replant I'll have to move the fish first and, well, ****.

    DIY Sponge Filter Uplift tubes?

    I have a bunch of Hydro sponge filters, and I'm missing uplift tubes for some of them. Anyone know a good DIY solution to make more? I'm assuming its just a matter of finding the right diameter rigid tubing, but wanted to ask if anyone had found something.

    DIY Fishroom LEDs?

    Has anyone tried using DIY LED tape/strips in their fish room? I was wondering how hard it is to install something like this - http://amzn.com/B00B2F3KDQ - along the bottoms of racks so that they shine into the tanks below? Is this as easy as it looks or am I in for a load of trouble?
