Breeding Box

Description

3-in-1 Air-Powered Breeder Box / Egg Collector / HOB Filter – Affordable, Modular, and Designed for Real Fishkeepers If you’ve ever wanted to run multiple breeder boxes but got discouraged by the price—this is for you. Commercial breeder boxes in the U.S. can cost around $25 each, which adds up fast if you’re working with multiple tanks, breeding projects, or egg-scattering fish. That’s exactly why I created this 3D-printable version: a versatile, budget-friendly, air-powered breeder box that gets the job done without draining your wallet. This model is built to function in three main ways: As a breeder box to isolate fish or protect fry. As an automatic egg collector—just place moss or spawning substrate on top and let the gentle flow pull eggs safely into the box. As a hang-on-back (HOB) filter, using only air to drive water circulation and gentle filtration—great for small tanks or shrimp setups. ✅ Key Features: Modular design: Future add-ons and accessories planned so you can customize for specific tank needs. Air-powered efficiency: No noisy motors—just a simple air pump creates water flow and oxygenation. Overflow return: Water exits the box and flows naturally back into the aquarium, maintaining a clean, closed-loop system. Safe for fry and eggs: No harsh suction, strong currents, or sharp edges. Hatch and raise in one place: Avoid moving fragile fry or eggs from tank to tank. I’m not a professional 3D designer, so this took me a lot of time, testing, and late-night…
