Reddit user Lava_lump along with a friend made this incredible aquarium from a recycled washing machine. Creating the aquarium from start to finish took 25 hours over the course of 3 weeks. It is now on display at a local appliance store. You can find step-by-step directions and more pictures at Imgur.
Overall this project was a blast to make and it went swimmingly. Used appliance stores recycle front load washers often. You could score a nice looking (not working) washer for about $50. Excluding the aquarium equipment, the hardware costs were from high tension cabling and silicone and LED lighting equating to $125. The cost for the aquarium equipment was $220. This consisted of the filter, air pump, accesses, heater, water treatment products and the fish. We bought “glo fish”. They pop more in LED lighting (primarily blue).
