The reasons for reefers to take on "DIY" projects can vary. Sometimes, you can save money by making something yourself.

This is one of the most interesting and fun aspects of the hobby! I'm a firm believer in a common saying about the reef aquarium hobby: "It's part art, and part science." DIY mixes science and art, to create new and exciting inventions from soda bottle protein skimmers to homemade Auto Top-Off systems.
