DIY feeding portal for mesh lid

[SpSDrew]

I had a 3d printed one but it fell apart in no time from salt creep so trying out a laser cut plastic feeding ring instead I made this week.

That’s pretty sweet. How are you able to pull the netting tight to it? Looks great.

I attach the 2 rings on either side, screw the bolts down so it’s tight and then take a razor to cut out the inside netting.

Looks good. For a long time I used one that I 3d printed with Petg filament and it held up well. I’m guessing it was the filament that was used that caused the problem with your previous one.

I was just talking about these to my buddy because my starry blenny jumped. I need something like this. Was the screen top a DIY or one you bought?

The mesh lid was a DIY kit from bulk reef supply

Are you satisfied with the mesh kit. My tank is eurobraced acrylic. Could you make another feeding portal?

Yeah, It took a few tries to get the mesh to stretch enough, but wasn't too difficult. Yeah PM me and I can make you one
