That’s an interesting idea. Anything is doable. Can you draw me a picture of what you envision? I don’t think it will be to hard but I’m not totally sure what your looking for.Ocponpoacher, you have an amazing ability!
I have a new 3D printer at home but am anxiously waiting to get out of hospital to assemble it. Obviously as a newbie I can't design the fish I want.
Would you be able to modify/ design this puffer fish so it is a water spout for my grandson? I don't know how big this model is but the fish would need to big enough so the mouth could fairly gently flow a return pump via a 19mm connection printed in the fish or screwed in it's belly. The fish could be maybe between 100 to 200 mm long? Even enlarging, widening the mouth somewhat is fine to get gentle flow. Do vyou think this is doable?
The system won't let me attach the file but heres a link https://free3d.com/3d-model/puffer-fish-v1--451445.html.
Cheers ocpondpoacher!
This should not be too hard. What would be the distance range from the top rim of the tank to the center of the sensor? (in Milimenters if possible)So I have always wanted a part that would allow easy placement of the optical eye back in the same place it was. Currently running the jbj optical. Though many of the sensors look to be similar. Maybe just a hang on the rim with some kind of adjustable stick and a holder. This way when the maintenance is done it's a no brainer getting the water level accurate and repeatable. Might sound silly but anything to make life easy right.
This is very interesting. I am wondering what the final model will look like. I don't think this will be hard. I'll take a crack at it the next few weeks when I find some spare time.Cheers ocpondpoacher!
I essentially would like the Puffer about 150mm long which would allow for the 19mm irrigation barb sticking out of his stomach. Water returns through the barb,through the fish and out his mouth. The current mouth is pretty dodgie. Feel free to play with the mouth to make it bigger so water flows out rather than shoots out. Yeah, I'll also regulate the flow. The mouth design isn't that important. Cool if you can still have it looking like a fish mouth but if it's just an outlet tube, that's fine too. Here's a couple of concept pics.
I'm setting up a complete water mixing station and this will be the refill return outlet. It will sit above the tank edge on a support tube and water will flow over the edge through the tank net cover.
Thanks for any help!!!
I am at
Mine sits 4.5" 114mm down from the rim. If it went from like 3"-6" 70mm-150mm it would work for me and also hit most a.i.o. filter chamber needs of others that would be interested
I just purchased a new test kit. Waiting for it to arrive before I start working on this.
What brand? Also, what all did you get?
It's the API Salt water kit. Mine was super old, like 10+ years.
Here you go... I am not 100% sure the threads a correct. I used 1/2 inch BSPT which is about 20mm wide at the thickest so close to 19mm.Cheers ocpondpoacher!

I would look into Red Sea… especially if it’s 10+ years old. (Most likely expired)
I’ve got all the Hanna checkers but I just use the API as a backup.
Ocpondpoacher, that looks amazing and yes , that's the correct thread.Here you go... I am not 100% sure the threads a correct. I used 1/2 inch BSPT which is about 20mm wide at the thickest so close to 19mm.

That thing looks awesome. How’s it working for you so far ?So you asked to see the Nero 3 Nem Guard over on Reddit once I had it in the tank. Here it is, though this is the paid version from your website, I also printed the free one on Thingiverse.
Which one would you suggest, I mainly got the paid one to tip you then decided to give it a try instead.
It is working great so far at keeping snails out, thankfully I have not had my nem test it. My nem has stayed right where I put it thankfully.
That awesome. I didn't know that it glowed. I am running the black PETG guards in my tanks.
