DIY Light Stand

Firstly some materials from Bunnings:  These bottom 2 pieces I will join to make a lip for a splash back cover and also a lip for the LED plate to sit on. The top sheet was a thin flat piece of aluminium with fins that I noticed while looking at the stand frame. Thought to myself that they would be much better for the LEDs to attach to instead.

DIY Shrimp Breeding Caves

I used 1m sections of 25mm ploy pipe from the irrigation section at Bunnings. Cut them in 10cm lengths and superglue together. Due to the nature of the pipes, they will float in the tank so weigh them down with something. I used aquarium safe silicon and glued it to a piece of slate. 50mm f/3.5 1/60sec ISO 100" 50mm f/2.
