Megabite's 180 Reef - Round 2

Very cool! If you can get a decent pic, I’d love to see it. Or if it’s in your tank build, I will go there and check it out.

I actually very specifically designed the hang-on-box for bubble algae and then added the stairs steps for GHA later.

My favorite section of acros in the tank. All little frags not too long ago and now almost mini-colonies. I may have placed them a little close to each other. I see creative pruning in the future.

How have the steps worked out? Also, there are 2 levels of hanging tabs. I assume one goes to rim and other to lower baffle?

Creative pruning is definitely in your future and probably closer than you think.

I dig the two photo bombers!

A quick redesign of the basket as I needed it to hang lower. I want the top of the basket to be just above the waterline.

Yes. It hangs on 3 hooks. 1 attaches to the rim of the sump, the second to the divider at the top and the third attaches to the lowered portion of the divider - the "overflow protection".

For whatever reason, in the 5 or 6 iterations of different designs for ATS prints I've done, the steps have all worked out better than the screens for some reason...

That's great. I think it will be fun designing one myself. Thanks for the photos and feedback.

First basket is done. Came out exactly as I wanted it to. Second one printing now.

It’s awesome and I really had no idea how much I would use the printer for all kinds of stuff. Here’s a bow holder I made for my granddaughter for example.

Where do the arrows go?

I can tell you where to put them.

Birdsnest have always been one of my favorite. It is surprisingly hard to find around here though. I would love to get a chunk of regular green, pink, and paradise!

I gots paradise...
