 About our DIY Projects

Our DIY Projects are reviewed by experienced aquarists to provide you with only the best projects. If you would like to submit a project for our review, please e-mail us with project plans Haplochromisat projects@aquariumlife.net. Although we believe all of the information contained in the projects section is accurate and sufficient to build the projects as described, aquariumlife.net cannot be held liable for any problems experienced as a result of using these designs.

 

 

Our DIY Projects are gathered from online resources or developed in house with our staff. We used to link to the projects, but after losing more than a few great ideas because of web sites closing, we have decided to keep copies of the articles on our site. Each project is properly credited to the original author and a link to the original web page is included. If you come across a project that seems to be improperly credited, please let us know by e-mailing us at projects@aquariumlife.net
