Product Introduction

This is a 3D-printed hydroponic plant-planting device specially designed for aquariums, featuring a three-tier suspended structure that securely attaches to the tank rim (or the inner glass surface). The three independent planting baskets allow for zone-specific cultivation of various aquatic plants, such as moss, water fern, and mini dwarf pearl grass. The perforated design ensures effective water circulation and nutrient exchange, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the aquarium while providing natural hiding and resting spots for fish and shrimp—making it a practical accessory for aquascaping.

Design Highlights

1. Three-Zone Planting: Three separate planting baskets enable simultaneous cultivation of multiple hydroponic species, creating a richly layered ecological landscape.
2. Suspended Installation: Designed to fit snugly against the tank rim (or secured with glass clips), eliminating the need for adhesives or drilling, making installation quick and easy without damaging the tank.
3. Perforated, Breathable Structure: The densely perforated basket body ensures excellent water flow, promoting root respiration and nutrient absorption.
4. One-Piece 3D Printing: The edges are smoothly rounded with no sharp corners, preventing injury to fish and shrimp; the compact design also saves valuable space inside the tank.

Technical Specifications

• Model Format: STL (the standard format for 3D printing)
• Printing Process: FDM (or SLA photopolymerization; PETG or PLA materials are recommended)
• Applicable Tanks: Small to medium-sized ornamental aquariums (tank wall thickness ≤10 mm, water level ≥15 cm)
• Dimensions (approximate): Overall dimensions are about 8 cm × 4 cm × 5 cm (single basket inner diameter ≈2.5 cm)

Application Scenarios

• Aquarium Ecological Landscaping: Grow hydroponic plants such as moss, water fern, and water orchid to enhance the tank’s visual appeal.
• Fish and Shrimp Breeding/Hiding: Provide natural shelters for small fish and shrimp (e.g., guppies, danios) to reduce stress.
• Hydroponic Plant Cultivation: Grow aquatic plants individually or in combination, observing root development and their interaction with the aquarium ecosystem.
• Beginner Aquascaping: With its simple, easy-to-install design, this product quickly elevates both the aesthetic and ecological quality of your aquarium.
