ericm1205 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 yeah forgot about the vacation too. thank god i have a great local reef club and members and other frisnds know about what to look for and to do. i been good with the ppl who have stopped over to feed and add rots etc.. i got a RKE on my system and i use the ireef iphone app so if anything goes out of spec like temp or pH or something stops or whatever, i get a email and i can call someone to stop over which is a nice piece of mind. since i switched to better heaters, insulated my sump with 1" rigid insulation , then all lights to Leds and used efficient single large pump and skimmer pumps i noticed a good drop in my electric bill. every little bit helps our bottom line as breeders to probably make a profit....in 5 years.. haha Link to comment
sweet<3 Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 So after a series of setbacks, my onyx pair is back on track. Here are a few quick pics I took: Here is my last batch of babies going on four months, I think...haha. Link to comment

dfcn07 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Hey sweet<3, how is the breeding going for your black ice clowns? Those are my favorite of all the clowns. Also, are those ceramic flower pots that they are laying their eggs in? Link to comment
sweet<3 Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Well both the snowflake x darwin and the black ice x darwin pairs are cleaning their pots (and yes those are flower pots hopfully i will have some black ice babies in the near future! Link to comment
dfcn07 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Awesome! Keep us updated! (especially the black ice ones for me) lol. Not sure how far you are from me but I may want to purchase a pair of black ice. I've lost confidence in the only store that sells them down here in SoCal. Link to comment

sweet<3 Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 Well I think the breeders all decided to take a little vacation break. But the onyx pair looks fat and the onyx x platinum pair looks like they might be getting ready to lay their first clutch! So no news yet but hopefully soon! Link to comment
sweet<3 Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 Haha very true! But we all know what happens on spring break-hopefully there are lots of babies to follow! And i lied, i just got home and found a large clutch of onyx eggs Link to comment
