Harry Potter Lego Aquarium DIY

Oct 6, 2019

First you need to decide on what theme you want.

I went with Harry Potter but any will work depended on your likes.

I went with Quidditch is the full set I used. I also used parts of the triwizard challenge and Hagrid's Hut only used some bits and pieces from each sets. Prices for each set depends on where you decide to get them.

Materials needed

1)The lego theme you want

2)Get different sizes of washers and bolts they will need to be Stainless steel so the water will not affect. This is to weigh down the legs seeing how they will float.

3)Silicone glue ( if you can find the medical grade)

4)wax paper or aluminum foil (for the Silicone glue) and toothpick

5) non of the strikers can be used ( the adhesive is toxic and its made out of paper so....)

I used the aquarium silicone ( what to make sure has no toxic ingredients that will kill your fish)

Putting together

The un-booking only undo one bag at a time.
I found that as you are putting the pieces together it helps to use the Silicone on each piece, then stop to let dry (yes this will make the usembuly go very slow but its worth it when you try to install in the aquarium and pushing on lego to get the weights under the sand.) seeing how I had three sets I was working with when one was drying I worked on the next one and so on. ( this part will be in the video clip at the end)
Now it's time to add the weights to the underside of the Lego.

Us a lot of Silicone to cover bottom so you can add the weights then set aside to dry so the weights don't move or fall off before fully dry.

I did a test to see how the layout was going and if I needed to Twink anything.I can see the part with the three rings need adjusting. the good thing is with the silicone you can still pull pieces a part with enough force.

5. Ok I wanted to try to make the dragon look like they are flying. This part was fun but also little annoying. you will need one extra material and that is clear fishing line. you will need to adjust the amount of weights depending on the size this was my first try and i ended up adding more. The annoying part for me was the length of the fishing wire.

6. Install the legos to tank. I also had to set up for filming. I decided to change the layout in the tank and its always good to take out all decoration to clean them wash with dove soup and fully rinse them before replacing in tank, and the take itself when I clean out pumps, filters, and I had to wait for the silicone to finish drying. So was good use of time. The install will be in the video clip below
