I did not print it myself, but a 3D printer is definitely in my future! Below, I am linking the humblefish thread where it was designed with Paul B's input. I just reached out to sisterlimonpot through direct message and he had one printed up for me at cost + shipping!Welcome!
I am intrigued about the feeder you mentioned. I haven't heard of it. Did you 3D print it yourself, or did you order it? If you did it yourself, I bet you are going to have a great deal of fun making other items for your tank setup.
page 2 or 3 has the designs!I did not print it myself, but a 3D printer is definitely in my future! Below, I am linking the humblefish thread where it was designed with Paul B's input. I just reached out to sisterlimonpot through direct message and he had one printed up for me at cost and shipping!
Show me your PaulB Brine shrimp feeders? Need ideas...
Except PaulB. I already know what his containers are made of :P . I'm planning on buying my pipefish(!) soon, and want to make sure that I have my pipefish feeder ready. Which is to say, a dragonet feeder, since I can't be around in the morning (god I hate this commute) to turn the pumps on or...humble.fish

Welcome to the party! Sounds like you've really done your research. Can't wait to see that tank!

I also wanted to give y'all an idea of my planned upgrades and welcome any comments/ideas on such:
Upgrades (future)
Lid: ReefinaintEZY custom acrylic lid
Dosing:
Tank Stand: Innovative Marine APS Aquarium Stand (for Fusion Pro 25 Gallon Lagoon)
- Pump(s): 2x Kamoer X1 Bluetooth micropump
- Reservoir(s): 2x 16 oz. glass dosing containers (etsy)
- Fluid(s): Tropic Marin All-for-reef, Red Sea Reef Energy AB+
- Miscellaneous: Icecap 2-tube magnetic holder
Light(s) (DT): 2x AI Prime 16 HD LED Reef Light (black) (w/ bendable brackets)
Light(s) (refugium): 2x Innovative Marine ChaetoMax Refugium Light 9W
Powerhead(s): 1x AI Nero 3 Powerhead (2000 GPH)
Heater: Cobalt Neo Therm Pro 100W
Testing:
RO/DI: BRS 4 Stage Value Plus 75GPD RO/DI System
- Test Kit(s): Hanna Mineral Reader Kit(s) (alk – dKh, Ca, phosphate – ULR, nitrate – HR, pH), Red Sea Magnesium Pro Test Kit
- Miscellaneous: autoaqua magnetic stirrer.
For more information, my tank has been up and running for 4 months with live rock from the beginning. I have not had much NTS (new tank syndrome) other than a bit of diatoms here and there (mostly from what I believe was dosing expired Oceanmagik). Also, I recognize the difficulties with keeping a mandarin dragonet in such a small system and did extensive research and preparation beforehand. I have quite an extensive pod population (as well as annelid detritus worms) and the Paul B feeder to supplement. I planned him being my first fish (and possibly only, until I upgrade tanks this next summer), hence the large live rock volume for the system. I also purchased him from Eliot at Marine Collectors to ensure proper selection and treatment before he went into my system.
As I said before, it is great to "meet" y'all and I will be posting some tank shots at some point as well! Thanks!
I'll be posting them on my new build thread when I get the chance!
