Breaking down my 40B and transferring everything over to a new Waterbox 25 Mini Peninsula. Made a custom screen lid with some 3d printed parts including a feeding port.

Couldn't see spending ~$80 on a mount for my AI 26HD light. Also wasn't fond of most mounts clamping to the glass, so I made my own for under $10, just a 3/4" EMT electrical conduit bent at 90deg (bent it at the store with the tool so didn't need to buy expensive tool), and two conduit clamps and some black spray paint. Super easy and quick and the clamp and pin on the back of my stand lets me rotate the pole 90 deg so the light isn't over the tank when cleaning.

Nice work on the conduit mount. Wouldn't be surprised if that has less flex than the AI mount. Great job!

Sometimes simple is best. I think I just need to adjust the height a little and maybe add a 3d printed shade.

All my livestock moved over from the old 40B tank. Starting to get some diatoms on some of the rocks.

Picked up a used "new in the box" nero 3 for a great price and mounted it high in the middle of the back wall.

In the new tank ugly cyano stage now.

Made a Reef-Pi and using that as a redundant heater controller. Also going to use it for ATO as soon as I get tubing for my cheap peristaltic pumps.

Would you be willing to share the designs of your feeding port?

Used this one I found https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4729594
When I get around to it I want to make a feeding cup to drop into it.

 

[miran2782]

Up to four fish right now. Red Firefish, orchid dottyback, sharknose cleaner goby, and a silver molly adapted to saltwater.
