Description

To create this model I tested using an AI 3d model tool (Meshy) to get it started and then made a few tweaks (mostly the base) so that it would work in the aquarium.

I painted it using Acrylic paint, and then added a sealant to the top (it is supposed to be safe, and after 3 months or so nothing has died, so that's a win).

One interesting challenge is that you need to fill it with water so that it won't float to the top. I drilled some holes in the top and used a pretty open infill pattern and it seemed to work just fine. You may want to experiment with makint it taller, it looks good, but a little shorter than perfect.

What type of sealant did you use? Does PLA degrade in water?

I use a simple "Liquitex basics acrylic matt varnish" it is know for being safe in fish tanks. I would also recommend printing it in PETG since that holds up much better in the water.

I’ve been printing pla and petg stuff for my aquariums for about 14 years now and still have pla stuff from back then in my tanks that haven’t degraded. either or will be 100% good to use
