I think it's great you're raising stock (and nice setup).

I am coming up to Kamloops in about a month and need a replacement black clown. I see you have lots.

His setup is awesome, I have seen it and I can say wow as I have seem a couple other breeders one back in the 80' in Winnipeg. he was more of a wholesaler but he did breed some fish, his warehouse was out by the airport. Another in Van in the 90's I believe it was in Burnaby or surrey can't remember very small he only bred clowns and some fresh water fish. I think it may have been more of a hobby. Sick lid dose a great job and cares about his fish.
by the way the fish room looks great I will have to come by again and visit.

Wow that is an awesome setup. I've never seen a breeding setup with such nice woodwork. Tell us some about it. I assume its all plumbed together but why the foam filters? I see you are culturing live phyto. Have you ever tried frozen? I'm using Rotifer diet and it saves alot of work and works much better IMO. Which clowns are you raising? I see Black O's for sure. (I breed them as well)

Thanks. Yes, it is all plumbed together. All tanks drain into a sump through a 100 micron filter and algae scrubber. Also a skimmer and 40W UV in each sump. The sponge filters just add additional filtering and water movement. You can't have too much filtration when you are feeding this heavily. I do use frozen phyto as well, but it gets too expensive as I go through 4L off live phyto per day. I'm raising o's, blacks, percs, GSM, tomato, neon goby.
