There are quite a few really good DIY projects that haven't been added. No offense, just haven't updated the list in a while :P Maybe we should start another list on here, and then PM a mod once we get a good list going, to add them to the original post?

here's one of my second level ideas:

I have added both of those to the list. Thanks!

I don't go looking for the DIY Projects. When a member makes one, they have to let me know about it by posting here or sending me a PM, then it gets added to the list. I never said I would look for the diy projects, but will add any when I get a request to add them.

some really great ideas, but most of the pics don't work anymore. since i'm sure most of them are people who maybe aren't active on the forums, or have deleted the pics, if anyone else has made these maybe they can offer their pics to add to the ones that don't work?

Humidifierand heater system Idea.

Post by Guest » Sat Apr 26, 2008 4:58 am

Ok I have ordered a Humidifier from Pet Discounters but after reading the DIY threads and the Coffee mug heater addition I reverted back to my Tropical Fish Aquariums and the heaters they have. I was thinking of a submersible Heater inserted into the Moisture canister/Jar. The heaters have thermostats built in so there would be no risk of Boiling the water and you could set them at an ideal temp.

Or Try the Crab Island Heat Mat 4" X 5" for the plastic mini tanks they have out. It said household tape could be used with it and it's only 3 watts. So tape or Rubber band it around the outside of the water jar/canister.
