Description

This THING is to keep a clear wake free space to feed your fish. It is especially useful if you have floating plants like I do.

Notes on Design:
The ring has indention on the top and bottom for drain holes, they fit the included plugs. I use uncured resin to glue them in then cure everything again. You will need to HOLLOW the ring in your slicer THEN add HOLES centered in the indention. I hollowed to a 0.5mm wall thickness to get the desired floating level. You may need to hollow differently to get your desired level.

I included a Screenshot for how I laid it out and added supports to fit in my Elegoo Mars and Anycubic Photon. As well as a screenshot of the hole needed.

To all that are concerned about SAFETY, I'm closely monitoring the health of the tank. It's a new tank so if it doesn't work out then we'll know how safe this is. The Betta has made several Bubble Nests which is a clear sign of a happy healthy Betta.

It's Anycubic Eco Resin, I've had it in there for several weeks and had the water tested regularly for unusual chemicals bleeding out, nothing unusual yet. Fish and Aquatic Plants are a great indicator of water quality. Both are happy and healthy so far. I make no guarantee about the safety of your fish with whatever resin that you choose.

It's attached to the filter return so every bit of water in the tank is being pumped through it several times a day. I think if there was going to be a problem then it would have shown in the plant or fish health. But again I make no guarantee since manufacturers could change resin composition at any time and not let anyone know.

I am currently printing everything in Elegoo Water Washable Resin Transparent Blue to test in a separate tank to see if the fish survive that.
