My name is Tom and I have been fascinated by the aquarium hobby since I was a toddler when my family had an Oscar tank in the living room. Ever since I can't remember a time when I did not have an aquarium in my life. Most recently I built a wall of 12, 40 gallon aquariums in my home office. Complete with a central air system, drilled tanks, and an automatic water change system that I made myself using a Wi-Fi sprinkler controller and ice machine solenoids, and of course I made my own lids. After making about my 15th lid I found myself getting really good at it, and I ended up with a lot of left over material sitting in the garage. I offered to make some lids for my local aquarium club members, and the response was amazing! So much that I quickly ran out of material and had to purchase more. I've since drastically improved my methods for gluing hinges and cutting the material. I am learning more about packaging, shipping, and sourcing materials every day. But most importantly I am having fun as I found a way to incorporate my beloved hobby into a business. Wish me luck!
