What is HexaLink? How do you use it?
Our awesome new aquarium innovation is called HexaLink- the perfect upgrade from a regular floating plant corral. HexaLink are floating hexagons with magnets embedded within them, so they’re able to intelligently link together in exciting patterns to solve various problems in your tank.
What is Hexalink?
We designed HexaLink to be a floating plant corral but with a high-tech twist. HexaLink tiles are thinner, stronger, and more bouyant than any other 3D printed options on the market. We 3D print HexaLink using high quality PETG, and most floating 3D printed products are printed in PLA. PLA, while great for many things, can break down in water, leech chemicals, and become brittle in a few months. PETG is perfect for aquariums and will stay good-as-new for years! We embed neodymium magnets within each side of HexaLink so the magnets are never exposed to water and thus can never rust.
How to use HexaLink
Well, okay, obviously you put them in the top of your aquarium and they float! There are a few fun uses for them though:
We try to alternate polarities of magnets on each side. If one side of a hexagon doesn’t magnetize to another HexaLink, just rotate it until it does.
Try arranging them in different interesting patterns and keeping different types of floating plants in each HexaLink
You can affix HexaLink to the side of your tank using any magnet, such a fridge magnet
Try affixing a HexaLink where your filter churns the water to reduce current
Connect HexaLinks together to span the width of your tank, and secure one end with a magnet. Now you have a barrier to block floaters or current, and you can fill the barrier with more cool plants!
HexaLink also works great as a ‘portal’ - Grow floating plants everywhere in your tank and see through them with HexaLink!
How to expand your HexaLinks
HexaLinks are all compatible with each other. You can buy however many you like and connect them all together- cover your entire pond in them if you’re so inclined! If you already have a few and find yourself wanting more, you can simply order more and they’ll adapt seamlessly.
At the time of writing this we don’t offer other colors or sizes, but if we ever do they’ll be compatible as well!
