Mushroom Cage!

Printed Reef · Mar 31, 2021

Hello Reefers!

For those who are unfamiliar with what we do, we offer a variety of 3D printed reef accessories ranging from controller brackets, to custom prints. (feel free to check out our website!)

Introductions aside, we wanted to share a mushroom cage that we have been working on. The cage is 2 inches wide and 1.25 inches tall. It also has a hole on the bottom, which is 0.5 inches wide. We will also be offering a 3 inch variant, as we realized that the 2 inch one was not great for all mushrooms in a tank. You can view them here on our website!

Let us know what you think!!

OK I can see someone can put those cages over a shroom until it attaches, but how do you secure the thing and is it negative buoyant ?
Eitherway, attaching softies is a problem and this could be a neat solution

There are multiple ways to secure it, but personally we have found success by using our sand stands to hold it in place. As for buoyancy, the cage by itself will float as it is plastic, but when in use it shouldn't float.
