oceancube Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 hello guys well im in the process of building another clownfish breeder system, due to the constant flooding in the upstairs fish room, wife wants it out and downstairs now,,, so nothing better than to take the whole garage away, forget about a game room this will be my office now hehe , so i went out and bought this really nice 8 cubicle system that has all the plumbing and bulkheads intact, all i need is a stand and ive started that already.. i will be using 2 seperate pumps for a return so i can get a decent turnover. sump will be a 40 breeder with some macro's,skimmer,uv sterlizer etc... i will be posting new pics as i go along and i hope that everyone enjoys them,, if you have any ideas or see something that you think will work better pls let me know... thanks all here's a couple pics i took tonite,, just started 2 hours into the build so take it easy on me!!!

oceancube Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 Nice! Where'd you get the tanks from? A LFS that's closing? well it was an extra setup they had so i bought it, i like it cause all the tanks are plumbed seperate, so no flow through or anything, gonna see how it works out.. only thing i dont like is the open top, i got about 3 thousand dollars of clowns just to have one jump... arrrgggg ill be mad...lol but ill figure out how to cover it up!!!

oceancube Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 pics ill post pics once i get this all done,, trust me there here!! tommorrow gonna add more support and paint the walls in the garage!! what color do yall think would go good(light blue,an offwhite or black) Link to comment
reef-luva Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 what color do yall think would go good? I had my clown breeding section in a dark corner, painted black, with curtains. It was easier to control the light, which is better for the spawning and mating cycles. I was taught that by this old Thai guy I bought the store from and it didn't fail me. I don't know what you want to do with the rest of the space and how much space you have, so on the color, it's hard to say. Link to comment
rrcg50 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 the same type of setup I want to build. I want to do 4 compartments with a chamber in the middle and then another 4 chambers. Nice and compact but each will have its own drain and return Link to comment
