DIY Magnetic Stirrer Coral Dip Station

[ReefdUp]

Hey all!

 

Since I rescue a lot of dying corals, I spend a LOT of my time dipping.  This was getting old, so I built a magnetic stirrer coral dip station!  I wrote up more detailed instructions on my website (link below), but it's pretty straightforward thanks to ChickenHaunt over at Thingiverse.  It's not exactly the cheapest DIY project (~$60 or more depending on exact supply choices), but it was fun and saves me a LOT of work.  Plus, it works really well at getting medication into the corals' nooks and crannies.

 

 

Here is the Thingiverse print file.  I used a different container, but it works really well!

 

If you'd like more details, including links to all the supplies, my website is here:  https://coraleverafter.org/?p=713

 

Hope this helps someone!

Nice price on the base stirrer, Nikki!

Nice, smart idea. 

 

I have a couple plate stirrers I use for Saccharomyces cerevisiae starters.
