if you have luck in that department I would love to hear of what you are doing to get them to breed.

I would hold off for the rotifers and phyto because even if they do breed, they recommend leaving them alone for the first 2 or 3 batches so you don't spook them.
it doesn't take that long to get the cultures up and running.
I agree. I plan to have the tank established and as you mentioned, breeding before going into phyto.

However, I could use the phyto for other feeding purposes too I am sure if I had extra sitting around.

This is a long term project for me. More of an "I F**KING LOVE CLOWNFISH lets turn the hobby up a notch!". I am looking to challenge myself. Maybe if my fish get lucky... I will too.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
