It is my build. I can talk to who ever I like.

Keeping track of things I need to know.

At least he is only talking to himself...not the fishes. So maybe a little sanity remains somewhere.

This is a great project! I admire your ambition. I'm looking forward to following along to see the results.

Thanks!

I am hoping through trial (and not so much error) that something positive will come of this... Some day.

Not to worry, it only starts to get hairy when you make multiple accounts and start taking to yourself .

Toughest part is to get them spawning.

A lot of books and websites are dedicated to clownfish spawning. But you have to read between the lines, as no "expert" will share everything.

We have accomplished various techniques to enhancing spawing, diet, and grow out. One thing we have found, there is not 1 sure fire way to do it. I can attest to that as I followed a known working technique for my darwins, but had to change a few things before pre-hatch (took a year to figure it out) to get them to survice the first 48 hours.

I would recommend getting phyto and rotifer culters going at all times. Doesn't hurt using them to feed your corals anyways.

You need to master those cultures, and the counts need to be good enough long before you have eggs show up.

Don't know why, but some have problems to get the numbers high enough sustain the fry.

Levi,

I forgot to tell you, the Onyx I got from you started spawning already

I'm getting a big female onyx from Bignose. I might need a male for her shortly.
