https://www.ocellarisclownfish.com/raising-clownfish/ I Used this website and it became like a bible... https://reedmariculture.com/support_rotifers_culturing.php This is also great as well...that culturing bucket is super easy to make with a quick run to home depot.... This guy has great tips and tricks as well on how to do several things...i referenced back to this quite a few times!

Thanks!!! Ok... False....ish alarm.... The clowns did last eggs but from what I read up on they most likely weren't going to make it due to the fact they were one of the first few clutches.... And on cue... The parents took a page out of the Kronos playbook and ate their children. But now I'm working on having a few things around JUST in case it keeps happening and I'll be ready. So for now.... Just been absorbing a lot of breeding info and vids!

So we had a baby almost exactly one week ago...and i walk up to the tank today to find..... I have no idea what to do. would love to try my hand at this but am not sure what direction to go in. any help would be great!! thank you !!!

Congrats!! It's crazy!! Sooooo it must be in the "air" of my house because i've had quite a development last night..... my clowns are expecting!!! I have NO idea what to do!! can someone please shoot me a good link or any sort of advice as to what to do? THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!

Hey everybody!! Thanks!!! sorry for no responses in a while....we just received our new creature to our family this past weekend so the last few months of buildup have been pretty fun. The Waterbox has been AWESOME!! i've had Nuvo's, Red Sea Reefers, Acrylic Tanks and none of them were bad or anything but these waterbox's are L-E-G-I-T. Yes, of course there are some things that could be improved but that could probably be said about just about any product out there. In the lead up the our birth I took it upon myself to gift myself my own "Push present" and picked up a few gifts for myself!....i mean for the baby. I added a couple of blue star leopards, a McCosker's wrasse, an Orange Back Wrasse, and my flame wrasse i feel has finished it's transition to full male, so it looks like a new fish!

So it's been a bit since i've updated this bad boy! I've had some really good ups and really ANNOYING downs! Ever since moving to a bigger tank that bloomed with coraline algae (not a bd thing of course) my hand at water chemistry has taken a massive advancement! I had somethings that were flourishing and others that were taking a massive hit. Alkalinity and all the other elements that go hand and hand with it took a massive plunge. So after finally getting into the dosing game my SPS has finally taken flight! I am actually pretty excited about it...pretty cool...but on the other hand i've become an expert at melting Acan's. apparently my water may be a little TOO clean which i've never had a problem with but i took such precautions early on and did it so well that some of these corals that need a little dirtier water don't survive for very long. I will probably try to tone back the "cleaning" aspect and cutback on skimmer usage and maybe something else...i don't know what but i'll give it a try. FEEL FREE TO SHOOT MY ANY IDEAS!! On the fish side...pretty good. I had a Potters Angel that almost bleached out due to early stress with a Coral Beauty but purchased some pellets that brought back it's color ASAP!! After a couple Kamikazee Flame Angels took their final dive only one has remained but thank goodness it had already begun the process of it's transition. As usual thanks to everyone on this board for all the info and help provided over the years!!!

Howdy!! I've got a 135.4 that's been running for about 6-7 months... I live in Fairfax by the court house just off 66 if you're ever in the area. PM me or text if you're interested. 703-328-6509 Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
