You might of mentioned it in another thread, but where in the heck did you get that tank? I like it! Combines plenty of room for your frags, a nice display area and like you said.....hopefully a breeding pair of picasso's. Nice job, can't wait to still it progress. Also, I'm impressed with your frags - although not a huge fan of some of the names....... :slap:

Ok so tank has been up about 2 months, time for a couple of updates:

-one of the scwd's is stuck open on one side. (need to rip it apart and clean it)

-flow is pretty good, but plan on going to a 3500 gph submersible pump.

-the breeding and corals are not the best mix. (feeding way to much and building to many nitrates)

-need to build a new system just for the breeding.

 

Time to expand and burn more money. I want to seperate as much of my new breeding set up as possible. I plan on adding a completely seperate system. I need some growout space and some new permanent homes for my breeders. The system will be:

42 gal. growout w/ divider (48"W x 24"D x 10"T)

17 gal. breeder w/ 2 or 3 dividers (48"W x 10"D x 8"T)

40 gal. tub for the sump

My new pair i'm going to try and breed. A platinum & a gold stripe maroon clown. This is there first day together, the female maroon has allowed the platinum in & out of the pot all day occasionally chasing him out. The mail started twitching this evening, I got a small twitch right in front of the female on video at about the 3-4 second mark. Hopefully things go well and I can get them to spawn. If I'm succesful I want to name them Platoon clownfish. For size reference, the pot is 4" dia. She is huge! I need to get them a 6" pot.

they slept in the pot together last night and today the platinum is twitching like crazy for her. So as long as she keeps accepting him we're good.
