Yes I believe it helps them in case the decide to detach and blow around. I am having that issue now with a nem in my 10g office tank. So I modified a specimen cup until I can get a better solution. It's already gotten stuck in the overflow once and I'd rather not have that happen again.

Thanks. May be helpful for me too. I had some shrooms blowing around. got a zoa doing that now.. He ended up under an RFA and is hurting now.

I didn't even know that was a thing so I googled it and came across this.

I'm sure there are people that can 3D print this or something similar. Now I want some too!!!!

So what we do in these cases is tag @Projects with Sam and ask if he has the STL file?

The one @rmorris_14 found had more open space whish might be a good thing for flow and feeding. There may be a good your the one @tbrown3589 found. Can't find that out at work cuz my phone won't open stl files. I'll make either, maybe both and we can do a head to head. I definitely won't take money for them because they seem to already be commercial products and I don't want that trouble.

Agreed. I'm only selling stuff with markup that I design myself. and soon will be doing bigger stuff... like the 'Parlastir' -- I don't just want to do print to mail type stuff...

One of these weeks I'll be able to sit down and take the fusion 360 tutorial. This is not that work though.

I'm thinking the second box is going to be better than the first, but the commercial one is probably the best.

Every event my dive shop holds has its own rash guard. This has to be my favorite so far.

Interviewed and got an offer for a part time team leader and my local pet store. 5 mins from the house. Not as much as the grocery store stocker job but extra money is extra money. They do in person drug tests with mouth cotton swabby thing now and I had to consent to a background check. So as long as that comes back clean (which it will, I paid that man in Havanna very well) we are good to go. All packed and last thing is to clean. I hate coming home to a dirty tank.

ONE thing I can finally say good about California.

Employers can no longer hold popping on a drug test for cannabinoids against you. . It's progress.

Team lead doesn't pay as well as stocking shelves?

Not at this place. Aldis grocery pays 16.50 this is a pet supply plus and I think it's 13.00. There is still a chance at the grocery but at least this is a guarantee.

I sure hope you weren't the pilot when you were taking that picture!

Back and recovered. Tanks are all good no fatalities. Just more GHA in the 180. Spending the week catching up and cleaning up. Then off again on Friday. Sharks were awesome. 14 dives total. Great experience, great new friends, great food, great crew, average dives.

welcome back! I have a mushroom cage for you. It seems a little short if it's not clipping into something else, I'll do a little more looking at the design, but can get it out your way soon.
