    The majority of bicks where i live are made from clay with rust added to them to give them that extra red color. I have a 3d printer and i only print with petg food grade filament anymore (Petg is really hard to get it to leach any chemicals at all into water, it really doesnt want anything to do with water almost like oil). I could probably print similar structures and so sometimes similar. Only downside is it might float 😂😂😂

    • @MarksShrimpTanks
      @MarksShrimpTanks  4 года назад

      The red is from Iron which is safe in a shrimp tank, in fact plants do very well with iron.my next diy filter will be from clay pots so watch out for it when I eventually get around to making them.
