Yes. I'll upload it to maker world. What size do you need? Width and height particularly. It's embedded in a giant fusion 360 file I have with all my aquarium thing. I can easily export a copy of various sizes, but distributing the raw original is more difficult.
Richie's 48x24x12 frag tank

I think originally size looks good. My tank is also 48x24”. Thank you!
Partial frag tank shot. I think this is the first time I've ever grown out numerous colonies at once; especially acro colonies.
Monti eating nudis seem to be under control. Not really sure what changed, besides the wrasses getting hungry because my avast feeder got a bit plugged up.
Some corals are semi bleached. I blame that on my media reactor having been offline for a bit, and a giant chalice (unpictured) causing chemical and stinger attacks.
I've also somehow developed aptasia. I think I might've had it for awhile and my peppermint shrimp might've died off (it's always hidden in the giant Monti) allowing them to proliferate a bit. I just went through a F aptasia round and will give that another try at some point. Given it's a frag tank I could also start pulling things out and giving them a peroxide scrub, but not doing so yet.

That’s neat! Have a link to the print files? I have a 29g, if I can print up a kit and glue it up I can donate that with an HOB overflow to they guy who posted about the classroom tank!
Looks great, nice job!
let me track em down. They're all sized for a 40gallon breeder though. Certainly could be resized/scaled.
Has worked for me so far with no issues. The plastic does bow, but so far has held up well.
Do you use fusion 360 or anything like that? I could try and export the original.
Thank you! Any format will work, I can convert as needed! As for sizing differences I’m sure I can figure that out
Here's a fusion 360 and a step file version. I didn't test those exports, but those are the pieces I used. There's a baffle in there by the drain, but I didn't actually use that. I glued them together with epoxy, then siliconed them in place.
Make sure to do a water safety test to ensure your return section block is water tight to ensure only the amount of water that you want can go out of the return. I did that by rubbing additional silicone on it. However next time I'd of tried to just do it with more layers of PET-G.
Honestly though, it's an interesting project, but burns through a lot of PET-G. I debated multiple times to just buy a kit.
Easier to just buy a kit it seems but I’ll give it a try, will need a lot of tweaking to make it fit properly… hmm
Definitely easier to buy a kit. I stayed this route because I wanted it setup a particular way, otherwise I'd of probably bought one of those eat overpriced kits.
I have a CNC now which I think is more appropriate, but I can only cut small things...
