I found these links after I thought I had an original idea for a home made cave and found it has been around since at least 2006! LOL After that, I found some other good ideas people have shared on the internet. If anyone has not seen these sorry, but they were new to me and I thought they might help people save some money too.

That DIY aquarium vac that recycles the water back into your tank is pointless o__o You cant change the water that way, I dont even know if it sucks up poop at least. Cool links though!
