00W's AIO Smorgasbord

PLA is safe for use BUT it breaks down easier than PETG in saltwater and under UV light.

Okay, that's what I thought. I think I am going to try to print one for the upcoming trip so it's convenient for the dog sitter. It'll be okay for a few days, right?

I'm preparing to design and print one for the 110 that will hang under my auto feeder. Round works better than square for flake/pellet feeding and probably for frozen as well.

Since it's not structural it'll likely be ok for 100 years, honestly.

@kevgib67 I already have the Cipro. How much would I need for my tank? It's 90 gallons.

500mg per 20g , just under 5 tablets. Although I don’t think dosing 5 would be a problem.

Yeah, I was thinking of that! I feel like I could 3d print that but I don't think I have the right filament to put in tanks.

I designed something similar into the feed cups I made for rectangular-style Tenecor feed cup openings. They are just printed in PETG and work well for pellets or frozen. They aren't designed for flake.

It would be fine for months at least.

Alright, I felt guilty leaving you hanging Luis so on this week’s podcast of cooking with Kev I’ll be putting a slight twist to the traditional toast.

Depends on how you place the slots and fillets. My version 2 square ones don't clog at all.

I was thinking stuff could potentially get stuck on the edges and in the corners.

That's awesome! Im already printing a feeder and I'm going to test it at feeding time today!

Well after slaving in the kitchen for 5-6 minutes it is done. Paul you just have to cut it mouth size pieces. It’s not as complex as it looks so if anyone wants me to post the recipe I would be happy to.

It can. That's why the slots are staggered and all of the inner edges are filleted. Most important one is to fillet the bottom grid to the sides. The problems I saw with feed cups were either they did not disperse well, they dispersed too quickly, or the surface water would stagnate. One of the dimensions that I set on an individual tank basis is top of cover to water. I put the top edge of one end slot and the two center side slots 1mm below the water line. That eliminates stagnation and churns the feed. The other end slot and the outer two side slots have their bottom edge at the top of the grid so sunken into the fillets. That flushes the feed so that there is no clumping. The number and length of slots is a compromise that seems to work well for this size (2"x3") feed cup. It feeds quickly but doesn't just dump the food.

Thanks but I don't think I can replicate this masterpiece. All of our dinner knives have flat edges instead of serrated.

So this is the one I printed, it was just a file from online. I'm going to test it soon, my biggest worry is that the mysis will get stuck to the side so I may have to add slots.

That sure was quick turn-around!

I honestly put all of mine in pots. Anything you have to save until planting season. They are really good seeds.

Thank you again, after reading the packages I can put some Christmas tree peppers now. Bok choy ( they are going to look beautiful) in the fall and hold off on the Cheiro Roxa peppers until spring. Thanks for the casino chip, that’s it I’m going to have to come down there to play! With your previous advice, I’m going to sit down at a black jack table and walk out capable of paying both of our houses off!
