It is a lot of work. My husband doesn't know what he is in for when I go out of town next week

Homemade sprite!

I applaud you Doni for all the hard work you are putting into your little clowns.

I just noticed my salt shaker needs to be topped off. LOL

vdituri · 06-20-2008, 12:55 PM

LOL!
At first I was thinking you had lost it.
Random outburst?

Then I scrolled back. Too funny. Thanks for the chuckle.

you need to get a 5 gallon carboy kit...

here's my phyto...i have to have so much because my rotifers are crazy fast growers

the bottle all the way to the left is 7 days old.....it shows on the density stick less than 1 cmdepth before the circle disappears

Woodstock · 06-20-2008, 02:52 PM

I would love to have a few carboys! I've seen those set ups and love them. But alas, I'll have to settle for my recycled soda pop bottles

GSELLERS · 06-20-2008, 02:57 PM

the kit is 12 bucks at florida aqua farms and i spent 10 bucks at home depot on the pvc parts....and i scrounged up a z-hills jug......get a 72" dual t5 light from home depot which will illuminate 3 carboys. replace 1 bulb with a 10k coralife bulb. and your phyto grows at almost ludacris speed.

Good score on the jug

I have the sides wrapped in black trash bags, a 50 watt heater, air tube (no airstone) and a dim light overtop

Here is a photo of it before adding the clown eggs, rotifers and phyto.

Is this the baby clown's home?

Woodstock · 06-20-2008, 03:43 PM

That WAS the nursery. I just purchased a larger 10 gallon tank yesterday hoping it will be better for them.

Finally a good use for those nori clips!
