Not to worry, it only starts to get hairy when you make multiple accounts and start taking to yourself .

Toughest part is to get them spawning.

A lot of books and websites are dedicated to clownfish spawning. But you have to read between the lines, as no "expert" will share everything.

We have accomplished various techniques to enhancing spawing, diet, and grow out. One thing we have found, there is not 1 sure fire way to do it. I can attest to that as I followed a known working technique for my darwins, but had to change a few things before pre-hatch (took a year to figure it out) to get them to survice the first 48 hours.

I would recommend getting phyto and rotifer culters going at all times. Doesn't hurt using them to feed your corals anyways.

You need to master those cultures, and the counts need to be good enough long before you have eggs show up.

Don't know why, but some have problems to get the numbers high enough sustain the fry.

Going to pick up my tank today from Jeff out in SP.

I built a new stand too. It's 90% finished and will be done this weekend
I hope. And running tank. Lol.

I need a couple things yet. Aqua clear 30s x2. Heaters x2. A piece of black acrylic.

Anyhow. Pics later today.

Don't pay for any AC 30's, I can help you out.

[paddyob]

Tank acquired. As are the AC30s.

Thanks Jeff! You are a good guy!

I'm getting a big female onyx from Bignose. I might need a male for her shortly.
