nanoty Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 I may be moving my setup date forward some. I'm thinking I should get this setup fairly quickly so I can aquire the rest of the fish as soon as possible. Probably won't have the money I need to do everything I want right up front so I need to design it so I can add on later. Ill work on a system description toninght and see what I can come up with.

nanoty Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 So I'm setting up my clownfish breeding setup using a rubbermaid stock tank as a refugium. I was going to purchase a new one but realized today that my grandmother has one at her old house (was destroyed by hurricane Ike) that she was using as a filter for her koi pond. I believe it is 150g like the one I wanted to use and since the house is gone there is no use for it. Just curious on what everyone thought about cleaning it up and using it for the clownfish setup. If you think it could be used what would you use and how would you clean it? Link to comment
Eileen Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Where do you get the black acrylic? All I can find is clear...My husband tried drilling holes in a sheet of it so I could use it to divide my 37 gallon so I could keep 2 pairs of clowns in it, but it shattered around the holes. Drill bit was sharp. Do we need a special type? Link to comment
dtfleming Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 keep the bit and acrylic cool with water Link to comment
pismo_reefer Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Just curious on what everyone thought about cleaning it up and using it for the clownfish setup. If you think it could be used what would you use and how would you clean it? 70g's of water, 5g's of Vineger, and a Pool scrubber brush. Id just run it as one HUGE refugium, with a smaller sectioned off part for a skimmer and whatnots. Link to comment

pismo_reefer Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Wait.... Did I win? This project has epic win written all over it. Link to comment
nanoty Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 Wait.... Did I win? This project has epic win written all over it. Er, sorry. Had a nice long post after your quote but apparently my phone decided not to post it. Anyways, just (literally) got back into town from camping. Decided to buy a new tub for the sump since I don't want to chance hundreds of dollars worth of broodstock on a $75 tub. Working on aquiring more equipment for the project and HOPEFULLY get to work on it next weekend. In the meantime my picassos are getting bigger every day and eating like pigs. My misbars are also pigs and eat anything and everything. They seem to be very close to wanting to spawn and probably would have already had they not been in a reef tank. Next weekend is the local beach cleanup but I should be able to jack with it Sunday. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Whatother clownfish species are you planning on breeding? Link to comment
nanoty Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 Whatother clownfish species are you planning on breeding? Right now it depends on what broodstock I can aquire. For sure percus, ocy and clarkii. I have 2 pair of "picassos" and one pair of black and white misbars. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 This is going to be awesome! I love Clarkii Clowns, they are too aggressive though Link to comment

About to pull the trigger on some equipment from a NR member and need to get to town and pick up my tub this weekend. Most likely going with wood 2x4s for stands instead of metal due to rediculous metal costs around here right now and should be able to pick that up soon as well and get started. Link to comment
nanoty Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 Actually no. I just got back from fire fighting school for my fire responder certification at my terminal so I've been tied up. I hope to start the "real" work tomorrow afternoon. On a side note, liquid natural gas fires are really hot........ Link to comment
nanoty Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 Woo! I like fire. Also, hi. Howdy. I'm a fire bug myself but a couple guys in my class don't like it anymore. They got caught in a flash fire and one had some 2nd degree burns to his face and arms. Pretty bad when skin starts to come off immediately. Also, gross. Link to comment
