DIY Large Acclimation Box for Fish for $40
Рет қаралды 2,393
3 жыл бұрынI decided to up my Quarantine and Acclimation game by making an acrylic acclimation box. The final product works out surprisingly well. However, my first go at making the box I made it far too big. I would recommend measuring twice before making the box. I could have saved time and money by going smaller.
Don't make my first large version of the box unless you have a 300 gallon tank. This 7x14 works well for a 180-200 gallon. If you have a 90 or smaller I would recommend doing a 5x6 or 5x10 if you have the space.
You will need magnets or suction cups to hold this in place. Luckily I already had those on hand.

I would recommend getting a smaller sheet, or pre cut sheets.

helpful suggestion for your acclimation box. make it tall enough to sit on the bottom of your tank. then you don't have to worry about magnets failing. then you can also make a temporary rock structure to keep inside the box for your fish

Yeah I think I said that at the end of the video when I give suggestions to others.

I'm looking for something similar and stumbled on your video. I think I found a better option. There are pretty widely available clear display boxes used for things like collector items, model cars, ball caps etc. They are pretty cheap and come in a lot of sizes. Just drill your holes and you're good to go.

You can also use some hermit crab habitats in the clear box. I just didn't have any in my area. Plus I wanted to experiment. I woulda done it differently in hindsight
