Many of us have dealt with the question of what to do with our electronics after they’ve become broken, boring or obsolete. Spencer Shepard of Blue World Aquariums decided the best course of action was to gut his old Xbox 360 console and convert it into a fully functional salt-water aquarium.

After removing the innards of the Xbox, Spencer cut a viewing window, and inserted a custom built tank. Wiring was hooked up for the lighting using the existing power cable and connection, while the low-voltage power supply and controller are hidden inside the external power supply box. The tank also features a color-changing LED strip controlled by a wireless remote.

    I’m just left wondering what are the tank params? given that the zooanthid and ricordea wont need much light or dosing. How often are water changes occuring?

    This was a great idea, hope it lasts a long time. Best of luck.
