Now that it is 1.5 years later.. do you still not see any issues with your PLA prints in your aquarium?I agree. I use PLA in fresh and saltwater aquariums and have witnessed no harm to the fish, or coral. I have also not seen any noticeable deterioration. Before adding the 3D printed parts to the aquarium, I took measurements of the components before they went into service, and I check them roughly every 6 months and see no significant wear or deterioration. After a year, the parts measure only a couple thousands (+/-.002") off the original measurement.
That being said, always use caution when experimenting with your aquarium, the lives of the inhabitants depend on our care. This includes the use of 3D printed parts, other plastics or coatings.
I was about to start making baffles for a sump... but I do have PETG as well.
