Found them . Brilliant. Ordered a copperband feeder in Neon orange . Thank you for letting me know about them. Regards Paul.. 2 months in with my copperband. Bought it from my LFS abyss Aquatic
You have to remember that not every filament for a 3d printer is suitable for an aquarium, especially for a marine aquarium. A material such as PLA is not suitable because it will biodegrade over time and will release the chemical into the water. Food-approved PETG material is suitable assuming that the particles from the printer head are not in the print 😁. You should also remember that the filament should not be colored (chemistry). Personally, I am printing covers for 2 marine and 3 freshwater aquariums.
Ok, didn't expect to be impressed, but the Hanna organizers would be nice since I always seem to have to open ALL of them to get the one I need, and the hinges are about shot. Like those 45 degree things too.
2:49 and there's even place to hoId a pair of scissors 😋 I printed myself a couple of random flow generators for the 3 pumps on the back of my Red Sea max s... Works like a charm.
Thanks, Alex. There were a couple things on there I didn't know about; such as the 45 degree frag holders that could come in useful. I've been attaching some choice frags to heavy duty rubber coated neodymium magnets on my back wall, but once they're encrusted I've been wondering if the rubber would break down and expose the metal after some time. You mentioned interest in the DIY EcoTech Battery backup. I've posted a new video on how to build that on my channel if you're interested. Keep up the good videos!
@@ReefDork right on, for as much as many of us reefers spend on our equipment in general a 3d printer is just a tool and a no brainer in my opinion based on the investment. A reasonable entry level printer is $350 USD or less.
Great vid. It's worth investing in a 3d printer for yourself if you are a bit technical. That flow director is well under £1 in material. But is worth paying the money if not technical as someone has spent the hours designing it
Where abouts did your purchase the Hanna tester holder ? I've recently used a great company to 3D print a bracket to attach my Reef Brites to my Radions. This is another great video, thank you.
@@ReefDork thankyou I'll have a look there's already quite alot things I want to print and adding the price of buying them up from ebay I worked out the 3d printer itself would actually be more cost effective. 😄
I'm too tight to pay for controller mounts. The 45 degree frag racks are awesome (does glue really hold them?) I got 3 single mounts from Aqua Rocks after seeing Jake Adams wearing their TShirt - and they are awesome - wish someone made that in Europe. Most of these are not so universal but pump cages that direct flow is a great idea and probably number 1... I don't know. I think Random Flow Generators are probably the best overall and I live my pod hotel - ok it's silly BUT if you have a new wrasse in QT you can just move the pod hotel across and... voila (who knows if it works). What I REALLY want to see is light mounting options - Radion mounts (for example) are ugly and most options are super expensive. T slots (or whatever they are called) should be at LFS's and they should have some 3D attachments and people could also get custom ones - that would solve a lot.
I know this question is off topic. I know you have a Midas Blenny and I just got one two days ago. Are there any specific care requirements? I plan to feed 3-4 times a day. I read a post on reef2reef that said they need to be fed more than people realize, but this guy was the only person that said that, but it made me worry. What he described on the post was a sunken in stomach, but that sounded like an internal parasite. The guy at my LFS said he was skinny when he got him so he fed him 3-4 times a day to fatten him up. I hope I can keep this fish because I love him. He is starting to eat.
No special feeding requirements that I'm aware of - they only live about 4 years so if that's how old this guy's fish was, that explains it looking sick.
@@ReefDork I feel like any kind of rust is a BIG No No. What do you do once you find rust? Buy a new one? I mean, I totally get the upside of a removable wet side for cleaning. But that sounds like a very risky game of poker to me.
have you ever printed an AQUARIUM piece in PLA... and has it lasted inside the tank without falling apart... i am hearing 2 different experiences with PLA.
2:30 As a chemist, these Hanna stands are particularly triggering..... Is it really that hard to get the symbols right if you are smart enough to invent 3D printed models? "No" is nobelium, which is a synthetic element and nothing even remotely like nitrate ions.
