Copepod Habitat and Biofilter Media Cube
Print Profile(1)
Description
A 2" gyroid-infill cube that works as a copepod hotel in a refugium or sump, or as high-surface-area biological filter media — a printable stand-in for media like Siporax or MarinePure. The open gyroid structure packs a lot of surface area into a small footprint for bacteria and pods to colonize.
- Print in reef-safe PETG only. Skip PLA — it breaks down in saltwater.
- Printed at 0 walls / 15% gyroid infill so the whole cube is flow-through. Give it a rinse before adding it to your system.
Want a different size or shape? Let me know and I'll add it.
I'm building out a line of reef tank accessories and take requests. Follow to catch the rest as I post them — a free Boost is always appreciated.

Feel free to comment with any feedback or requests. I do this for fun, but I don't mind remixing a model if I can make it more useful.
