Who are you getting your supplies from? I was looking at Florida Aqua Farms and Reed Mariculture. I used Brine Shrimp Direct for artemia eggs and selco.

Order from Florida Aqua Farm. I just got the Phyto disc, Rotifer and phyto collector cup only. Im using liquid mircale-glo for fertilizer and kent's essential elements..Mix salt with tap water. read this from Marc:

Man,

how do you get all this by Theresa?

I told her i need something to do at home since Amber is in school now.

Wow that's a nice, neat, clean setup you got going!

Think that i might set up a breeding system myself, I think my Black Ice and Snowflake are finally getting ready to pop out some fry.

 

[mike13oy]

None of my clown pairs lay eggs yet.

Phytoplankton is looking good. Just start Rotifer yesterday.

I decided to separate the 2 snowflake because the bigger one kept attacking the little ( i think the little one is a female too). I added a small b/w clown to the big snowflake and they are getting along well. Hope to get Black Ice babies.

You may need to wait until a strong front comes through. when I was breeding bettas, I had to wait, but they spawned everytime.

Mike did you ever read the article on reefcentral about the clownfish breeder in New York. He claims that dropping the salinity and raising the temp in the breeding tanks gets them to breed faster and more frequently. It supposedly raises their metabolism. I think he is running his at 1.019-1.021 salinity and 88 degrees. I will try and find the link when I get home tonight.
