Once I got the general idea of what I was looking to print (I got a 3d printer this year, and it seemed like a neat thing to try- and something that hasn’t really been done, likely because it’s almost too large scale overall, plus the software for 3 d building is not for the faint of heart)...

]I first started researching and falling down the black hole of aquascapes. This stuff wasn’t there 21 years ago when I got the tank initially. Super gorgeous potential, and some really neat builds. First issue, I tended to prefer the tank builds that have the eye drawn to the hole in the center...

Hi there, I’ve posted previously and alluded to a major tank refurbish and overhaul, and though I’m decent at diy, and researching, I’m also not an expert in anything tank related. But I have decided to tackle my tank from a slightly different (not easier or less time consuming, necessarily)...

Thank you for that, I will check it out!. Today I tackle the scratches, then rinse the tank out and possibly test my sand waterfall if I have time. (I’ll need to do a few rinses since I’ve used toothpaste and baking powder on the scratches so far, until I realized that 600 grit sandpaper would...

Hi Colin, I’m using a non toxic pla, not a plastic. I’ve researched it and it is apparently inert and tank safe. I’m a big researcher, and there is a lot of info on the web. Regardless, the entire thing will be coated inside and out once I’m done with it, in a non toxic varnish, to seal it...

Thank you for the reply. It has been dead of winter here still, with outdoor temps below -18 degrees, for almost a month, so draining the tank fully and getting rid of a bunch of sand wasn’t ideal during this time. Anyway, I used the interim to design and 3d print off my rock replacement for my...

Hi there, I just joined and I am in need of aquarium repair advice. I have a 20 year old oceana 1/2 circle 70 gallon tank, with a central bulkhead and a 40 gallon sump that is equally as old. It’s been a successful and happy cichlid tank for the duration, but I decided that it needs redo-ing...

Hi there, we have had a lovely 75 gallon cichlid tank for going on 20 years, but with covid and not getting back to the fish store it was looking pretty sad and tired and the bigger fish took over, etc… so I decided that I was going to redo the tank. However, I know it’s a 20 year old tank, and...
