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
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.
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.
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.
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. 😄
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.
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.
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.
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.
This is fantastic!!
Printed Reef should be on this list!

I like the MP40 Flow director Alex. Great idea!!
Just ordered the ATO pump stand, bloody genius!
Excellent 👍
Great list! The apex reagent funnel guides are another great 3D printed item.
Awesome I ordered 2 of the mp40 flow directors last and expecting them tomorrow for my wb220.6. Glad you rated them number one

Brilliant advice
Great video
I recently bought a anemone guard for my Nero! So awesome!

vivid aquatics random flow generator is a great 3d printed item .

Good overview! My Hanna checker holder is wall mountable and even better, is available for free. Those were some stiff prices
Yeah I saw yours the other day! I've bought an Ender 3 so I'm scouring Thingiverse for reefing kit now 😅

Perfect timing I'm getting a 3d printer tommorow :D
There's a thread on Reef2Reef with a list of aquarium prints...
humble fish has a pretty good list going as well

I use my Ender 3 v2 all the time… the only drawback is your imagination.
Can’t see the hanna organiser? Do you have the links for it still?
What about a flow director for the MP10s
How did you mount the 45 degree frag holder to your overflow? Did you just glue it?
I tried superglue but it doesn't work, so I use silicone
Uff i need those 45 brackets for plugs and the neros🎉
Have you got a link for the Hanna Checker organisers?. I can’t find them in the U.K.
Check out reefparts.co.uk
What is that copperband feeder ? Where can I get one . I can't find it online
Where did you find the ai nero parts, after the one that adds more angle
Link in description - Reef Parts
Does the vacuum attachment suck gravel straight into the pump?
Yep - it can clog, especially if it's not really fine sediment
You are missing us!
The shorturl links don't seem to work - they take you to the "Create a short url" page rather than the destination. Great video!
That's annoying, thanks I'll try to fix it...
Hi Alex, where can I buy the 45 degree frag plugs from ?
Reef Parts
What is the link for the Nero 5 bracket, it doesn't seem to be a link in the description.

No, people in the know only use PETG so that's what I use - not worth the risk for me

Do you still use MP40 pumps? Didnt you have Issues with rust?
Yeah, the wet sides can rust but you just need to keep an eye on them.

Noice~
The best part is that I have a 3D printer.
most of the stuff looks brittle and really rough quality - or is it the video that makes it look that way
3D printing does produce a less perfect finish, but the quality is fine

People are over charging for 3D printed parts
And some sell other people's designs that are for personal use only...
