    Diy Cfl lighting

    Personally I would not use reptile screens because theres no splash protection. Most hardware stores sell panes of glass in various sizes and thickness and will likely cut it to size for you or you can cut it yourself with a glass cutter (they will likely have those too). I'll be replacing the...

    Krylon fusion on bottle labels?

    I have a diy beer bottle bubbler I made years ago. Just a simple brown bottle(removed labels) with a hole drilled in the bottom for the air tube to fit in, bubbles come out the top. I want to try a wine bottle while leaving the labels on. Obviously I would need to water proof them first. I've...

    Diy Cfl lighting

    Diy Cfl lighting

    I have a tall 29gal with a few low-med light plants and the generic cheap hood light finaly craped out on me(light sockets corroded and such). My money saving plan is to build a simple wooden hood and mount four e26 sockets with 6500k cfl bulbs(should be able to do it all for $20-$30) I'm just...
