Human: NOTE: Seeking a collaborator to transform this into a Customizer project, with a tip for a charitable cause as all tips will go to support worthy initiatives! Hamburg Matten filters are some of the most efficient tank filters on the market for aquariums housing fish and shrimp. Ideal for fry (baby fish and shrimp) tanks, these filters utilize large foam pads to create an enormous biological surface without significant intake flow. This design results in low power consumption (merely requiring an air pump) and minimal maintenance. Files included are: HamburgMattenSubstrate_bottom.stl - A Matten part designed for insertion into substrate without compromising the foam's cleanliness. This component can be extended to accommodate deeper beds, currently set at 2cm. HamburgMattenSpongeHolder.stl - A sponge holder that slots onto the bottom, requiring supports for slots connecting to the base. Printing multiple units increases total height, while a clamp/holder accommodates Jetlift tubes with a diameter of 20mm. Printable in PLA or ABS.
