Just updating this post. It has been in since April. So far so good. I still need to print the top covers but been printing lots of other stuff. No leaks. I used some 3/8 tubing for water level indicator. Just need to put in something that floats.

Got my Copepods. Very happy with the order. You can see there are a lot of pods in there. Thank you Nathan from Coral Hub. Great local business. .

Just got my Apocyclops copepod order from Coral Hub.Very happy with the order. They are live and moving around and you can see them with your naked eye. I will put them in my refugium and tank tonight. Thank you Nathan. I will do business with you again .

I wanted a low wattage light and I just installed this on my refugium. It is a small refugium so this does the trick https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LX1EO3W?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

I think it is worth giving local business the business. I will give him a try. Ok. Put my order in. I am sure it will be good. Thanks for all the advice and happy I found a local company.

I got a take with a large Hair Algae problem. Last time I had an issue like that I got the Ecopods from Algaebarn and it was a miracle. Within a week the entire tank was cleaned out. Ecopods had 4 different kinds of pods in it Tigriopus, Tisbe, Apocyclops and Oithona. Do you think the...

So no problems shipping in this heat? I was hoping for local pickup since I am scared they will get cooked.

That is either a very pale lager or a jar of Copepods. I am in Pleasanton. Where do they sell these? I am on your website and these are not for sale on there. Are you lo

Anyplace to get Copepods in the bay area. I live in Pleasanton. Last time I got them shipped to me from Alaebarn but I am scared the weather is so hot they will be a Copepod bisque when I get them. Let me know if I am wrong about ordering from Algaebarn in the summer. I just don't know if it...

Very interesting. I am an Engineer so would be fascinating to see their facility.

Death Star Coral:eek:

Last major piece. Now need to print the doors and feet. I think I will give it a paint job and clear coat on the outside. Used 2 part epoxy inside for waterproofing.

Any water based acrylic paint will do. I have an airbrush that I use for my 3D prints. I have not had any issues with peeling so far. Most times I will ruff it us with some sand paper but a few times I just painted without any prep right off the printer and it worked also. Aerosol paints can be...

Nirvana Poly. I got one at the coral swap at the beginning of may and it is growing crazy fast. Just about ready to pull it out. Very scary fast growth.

Thank you for the offer. I am a couple of hours away from finishing the last major piece. Those do look like though. If someone else is interest maybe you can sell it to them. Richard.

I have been in Taps scrap pile several times. Hit or miss. Wish I still worked at my old company. They once threw away $30K work of Polycarbonate panels for cosmetic issues but other than a few scratches they were fine. I have made PETG water tight before. I have some two part epoxy that...

I prefer black to clear. I am putting a clear tube on the front with a colored bead for water level. I am printing feet so it has an air gap so I can check for leaks. I am using screw and epoxy for strength and could add an inner spar to keep it from bowing out but I can do that after the fact...

Thank You I got the last big piece printing this weekend and them I am printing the water level tube. I got about 29 revisions so far as I printed demos and made changes. I think I could probably refine it a bit more but I got to a point of "It is good enough". I could spend another month...

Hello Everyone I priced out a 5 gallon Reservoir to fit in a specific place and they are like $120 -$150 for an acrylic one which is insanely expensive. For the price of 2 rolls of PETG $12.99, stainless steal screws (maybe overkill but for peace of mind), epoxy, electricity and time I am...

You guys are scaring me. I am going to stick it in a low light corner of the tank until the next Coral Swap. I hate killing things so maybe someone else will like it? But I would hate someone else to get this beast. Maybe I should bury it in the garden? I have only had it for 3 weeks and I...
