I turned an old childhood TV into something it was never meant to be.
This box TV hasn’t worked in years, and instead of letting it sit forgotten, I decided to transform it into a living ecosystem. What started as a risky teardown turned into one of the most challenging builds I’ve ever attempted.
This project pushed me outside my comfort zone, forced me to learn an entirely new side of the aquarium hobby, and reminded me why small tanks leave zero room for mistakes. From the first cuts to watching life slowly settle in, every step mattered.
