Three-Compartment Aquarium Isolation Box (fits ≤15mm glass)

A 3D printed three-compartment aquarium isolation box designed specifically for aquarium enthusiasts, supporting independent compartment isolation and perfectly suited for aquarium glass up to 15mm thick. The main body of the isolation box features a honeycomb mesh structure, combining lightweight design with high strength. It can effectively isolate fish with different habits (such as guppy fry, bettas, sick fish, etc.), while ensuring efficient water circulation (mesh porosity ≥70%, balancing filtration with smooth water flow).

The top of the isolation box features three independent compartments (left/middle/right, or top/middle/bottom, depending on the actual design), allowing flexible space allocation based on fish size and species. The bottom is equipped with anti-slip silicone pads (optional, or embedded during printing) to prevent scratching aquarium glass. The sides feature snap-on fasteners, suitable for glass up to 15mm thick. No drilling or glue is required for installation; it snaps firmly into place and is easy to remove for cleaning. The overall design is simple and practical, suitable for home aquariums, breeding tanks, isolation tanks, and other scenarios, enhancing the convenience of fish keeping and the stability of the aquatic ecosystem.

Design Highlights

• Three Independent Compartments: Separate spaces (left/middle/right or top/middle/bottom) allow simultaneous isolation of different fish (e.g., breeding mothers, treating sick fish, raising fry), preventing cohabitation conflicts.
• Honeycomb Mesh Structure: Lightweight and high-strength, efficiently circulates water (porosity ≥70%), prevents stagnant water, promotes filtration, and prevents fry/sick fish from escaping.
• Precise Glass Compatibility: Snap-on fasteners fit glass up to 15mm thick, tool-free installation, snaps firmly into place, and does not damage the aquarium.
• User-Friendly Details: Optional anti-slip silicone pads on the bottom protect glass from scratches; smooth rounded edges prevent finger scratches; detachable and washable design maintains water quality over time.
• Personalized Customization: The 3D printable model supports adjusting colors, mesh density, and compartment sizes to fit different glass thicknesses (e.g., 10mm, 12mm) or special aquarium structures.

Technical Parameters

• Compatible glass thickness: ≤15mm (customizable for 10mm, 12mm, etc.)
• Number of compartments: 3 (independent spaces, customizable size for each)
• Recommended material: PETG (water and corrosion resistant, suitable for aquatic environments), PLA (environmentally friendly and easy to print, requires waterproofing)
• Printing suggestions: 0.2mm nozzle, 30%-40% infill (to enhance structural strength and prevent deformation under water pressure), honeycomb wall thickness ≥1.2mm (to prevent breakage), reinforce support at buckle points (40%-50% infill).
• Size reference: Length×Width×Height ≈ 30cm×20cm×15cm (fits mainstream small and medium-sized aquariums; three-compartment sizes can be adjusted as needed, e.g., left compartment 10cm×20cm, middle compartment 10cm×20cm, right compartment 10cm×20cm)

Usage Scenarios

▸ Guppy Breeding: Place female fish in the left compartment, fry in the middle, and male fish in the right to prevent parents from eating the fry.

▸ Sick Fish Isolation and Treatment: Place sick fish in the middle compartment, and healthy fish in the left/right compartments to prevent cross-infection.

▸ Multi-Species Acclimation: Place different species (e.g., zebra fish, neon tetras, guppies) in the three compartments separately, then combine them after observing compatibility.

▸ Fry Rearing: Classify fry by size into the three compartments (large, medium, small) to improve survival rates.
