Rearing Picasso Percula Clownfish! - Page 102

Thanks Blake

Kathy - is the color changing much on yours?

Daligriffith - I will add your name to the list again.
I am planning on matching up two snowcassos with new perculas. As a matter of fact, I have a pair of wild caught percs right now in QT.
My motivation is simply fresh genes but it will be interesting to see what offspring they have.
It will be easy to match them M-snowcasso & F-percula; but to get the F-snowcasso & M-percula will be very difficult. I will probably end up with two M-snowcasso & F-percula pairs.

HideTideTN - I do not know what the PH is. The controller I use on that setup (Reefkeeper) does not monitor it. I would guess it is 8.0-8.3 since the few times I have checked it, it was btween those figures.

Got it. And to provide water movemnent for the nems do you use power heads and/or filtration?

Question limit reached for one day, this is the last one (today) I promise

Very cool as always.
It is interresting to see the itty bitty ones all spread out and then they are all clumped together until they grow up quite a bit and then gather round the food.
I just love watching them grow.
Anybody who hasn't done so should go to the beginning of the thread where she has day by day photos of the first hatch.

HightideTN · 11-16-2008, 08:26 PM

Ah Ha! Look what I found on the Snocasso Tank thread:

Equipment:
29 gallon AGA with an external overflow
Lit with 4 x 39 watt T5 fixture
20 gallon sump
100 watt Jager heater
Reefkeeper controller
Euro Reef CS-6-1 skimmer

So, the question limit is extended! JK

Thanks for all your help

LOL Hightide~
Actually, there is also a powerhead in there for added flow. However, I have a SeaSwirl that I need to install on the return flow to help add more random flow patterns. Boy, its tough to get the flow just right in a small tank....

Too bad you live so far away Lynn. You would really enjoy seeing them in person.

I suppose I'll find out if my flow is adequate when I begin to add coral. Currently (ha, pun), Two opposing mini pwr heads and an overflow filter on my 15H.

Can't wait to see a nice little snocasso cruise around in there.

lcstorc · 11-16-2008, 09:32 PM

Someday, I will get to go on a road trip.
I guess it is a bit more likely now that gas is a bit cheaper but I need to get the job thing worked out a bit better first.

The videos are so fun to watch! The clownfish mobs are a riot!

I'm looking forward to seeing the progress Doni...

This is the design so far. I stopped working on the front page and started working on the back end. My goal is to have everything auto-populate from my database backend.

If you guys are view this at 1280x1024, i love how i got the clownfish eye poking out.

I am interested in discussing this further with you. Please PM me

Thanks!

Unbelievably cool Doni!

Woodstock · 11-24-2008, 12:17 PM

I completed a few projects this weekend thanks to NCGuy and Phyxius

Thank you NCguy for getting and installing the sweeeet LumenBrite Pendant this weekend

The anemones are loving their new sunshine

Thank you Phyxius for drilling my new 20 gal long tank! (yes, I got another tank.. lol).

The 20 long will be plumbed into the larger system and will have dividers to create small areas (9 or 10) that will serve as 'holding' cells prior to shipping. I am currently using breeder nets which work okay but are taking up valuable space in my tanks, blocking lights and are a death trap to the small fry. I accidentally smushed a few babies with a net

Currently, I only have room for 5 or 6 breeder nets but with the new 20 gal long I will hav 9-10 holding spaces. That should help to speed up selling.

I will post photos later...

always improving Doni... good job
